Christian nationalist North Carolina Republican Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, currently the leading candidate for the GOP nomination for governor, launched an attack on transgender women years after the Tar Heel State’s last GOP governor cost the state millions – and possibly billions – of dollars, and cost him his political career over the very same issue.

“We’re going to defend women in this state,” vowed Robinson, according to WUNC, at a campaign stop earlier this month. “That means if you’re a man on Friday night, and all the sudden on Saturday, you feel like a woman, and you want to go in the women’s bathroom in the mall, you will be arrested — or whatever we got to do to you.”

“In campaign speeches in recent weeks,” WUNC added, “Robinson suggested that people who previously identified as male should be ‘arrested’ if they go in a women’s bathroom. Instead, he suggests they should ‘find a corner outside somewhere’ to relieve themselves.”

In a different campaign speech Robinson said, “if you are confused, find a corner outside somewhere to go. We’re not tearing society down because of this.”

    yeah it fucking is. People used to straight up shit in a cup and throw it out the window. Nowadays we don’t even let dogs shit in the street.

      A person who looks and lives as a woman going to the fully enclosed place, equipped with indoor plumbing, all the other people who look and live as women go to for the purpose of pissing in private is a far cry from throwing buckets of shit out a window onto the street.

      That being said, this story does make me want to throw some buckets of shit somewhere.
