This will affect trans women, and it will also affect gender non-conforming lesbians who are already frequently targeted in public restroom settings with allegations of not “belonging” in women’s restrooms.
DOJ put out a memo stating that all recipients of federal funding must ban trans people from bathrooms.

When people support Andrew Cuomo, what they’re saying implicitly is that they don’t care about the women he’s already sexually harassed and retaliated against and they won’t care if he does it again. It’s a political stance that enables discrimination against women in government

The modus operandi of most policing in this country is blatant disrespect for individual rights, and "use force, ask questions later." The dangers we knew were brewing are now here. And there is almost no chance we get out of this without substantial violence, because they are willing to kill us.
