Related: About this forumTexas GOP Cop Would Beat A Trans Woman Till She Needed Hospital Care, Gets Owned On His Own Post
The sheriff of Denton County, Texas, Tracy Murphree, is so transphobic that he has no qualms about physically assaulting trans people who use the restrooms of the genders with which they identify. He has a young daughter, so of course he thinks hes justified in doing this, regardless of what the woman does in the restroom while his daughter is in there. In fact, he actually said :
How does a law enforcement officer justify that kind of battery if theres no danger? How would he know that every person who entered that restroom was female at birth? Trans people use restrooms like the rest of us they go in, find a stall, shut the door, do their business, flush, leave the stall, wash their hands, and leave the restroom. Thats it. Thats all.
All I can say is this: If my little girl is in a public womens restroom and a man, regardless of how he may identify, goes into the bathroom, he will then identify as a John Doe until he wakes up in whatever hospital he may be taken to. Your identity does not trump my little girls safety. I identify as an overprotective father that loves his kids and would do anything to protect them.
