Republican lawmakers across the country have been targeting the LGBT community with new discriminatory laws commonly called bathroom laws. But take a guess at whos been arrested more often for sexual misconduct in public restrooms .trans people .or Republican politicians? Ill give you a hint .its NOT the trans people.
Maybe its a case of Republicans wanting to play a game of bait-and-switch so that no one pays attention to what theyre really doing themselves. Or maybe theyre just incredibly egocentric hypocrites. But making new laws targeting the trans community under the premise that they are some kind of predators who cant be trusted in public bathrooms is almost laughable when you consider that there are literally no known cases of such a thing. And what makes it even worse is that the people making these ridiculous discriminatory laws are protecting their own fellow Republican politicians from the very thing they are accusing the LGBT community of doing.
Funny how those religious freedom laws they so desperately say they need to protect the public from the gays dont seem to do squat to protect anyone from politicians.

While it pains me to say this, in fairness to them the target of these acts is misunderstood
