I am the Comics Curmudgeon, among several other things.

Right now in many parts of this country, I'd feel unsafe entering a men's room, even though I have M on my ID and I'm by all appearances a man, that's how fucked this broader situation is. If you're cis and you've never had to contemplate such things, indeed! We're experiencing different things.

Do cis people understand that these laws effectively are forcing trans people to use the bathrooms that *don't* match their gender identity and presentation? That this will make them a target for not just mistreatment but violence?

LiveJournal was 1000% wilder than any currently existing social media community, but because it was mostly siloed you had to really dive to learn about, say, cf_hardcore (for people too extreme for the main child-free community) or booju-mooju (an endless flame war about breast milk vs formula milk)

Regardless of how it turns out NO HE DIDN’T. It’s like saying I have more fingers on my left hand after counting 8 digits from left to right with a ring finger and a pinky still to report.
