Easy solutions:

1. Build separate restrooms for trans-es. A new infrastructure is needed for trangenders.

2. Restrooms to use new symbols of body parts instead of simple men/women. Any one doesn’t have👙 shouldn’t use women restroom.

-States’ securitization
-Politics’ polarization tactics

The 3rd circuit currently is divided between 8 Republican-nominated judges and 7 Democratic-nominated judges, plus a vacancy.

But Biden’s nominee to fill that vacancy has stalled all year due to Islamophobic smear campaign, @polgreen.bsky.social writes: www.nytimes.com/2024/03/19/o...
