'I'm willing to suffer for rights', says trans woman arrested for washing hands in women's bathroom
Briefly

Marcy Rheintgen, a 20-year-old transgender woman from Illinois, was arrested for trespassing after washing her hands in the Florida Capitol toilets to protest a new law prohibiting trans women from using women's facilities. The law, described as discriminatory, makes it a misdemeanour to use spaces that do not correspond with one's biological sex. Rheintgen fears severe consequences if imprisoned, including potential violence and legal repercussions. She voices concern over society's treatment of marginalized individuals, highlighting a troubling rise in hatred and hostility toward vulnerable groups.
I'll likely go to a men's prison for a long time, where I'll be forcibly detransitioned, have my head shaved and probably be raped. It is horrifying and morally abhorrent that when we see different and unique members of our society, our first instinct is to imprison them.
Most Americans these days are angry and miserable and have a lust for vengeance that they simply can no longer quench in their personal life, so they take it out on those who are smaller than them, those who cannot fight back.
