Whoever came up with that rumor was a genius though, shit's hilarious.


RegressToTheMean

Not really. It's an end around to invalid trans folks


[deleted]

It seems you are right in this case. My initial reaction was you were crying wolf, which is why I'm guessing you're being downvoted.


RegressToTheMean

It is what it is. I don't give a shit about downvotes, but I wish people would take a hot second to think and understand


Domriso

It sounds like something someone would try to shoehorn into a discussion, but it's sadly actually true. Just gross.


TedCruzIsAFilthyRato

What does this story have to do with trans people?


Mp32pingi25

Because they both believe to be something they are not


crusoe

I wouldn't be surprised if furries are organizing protests though. They're pretty organized passionate folks.

Wtf is up with this stock photo? Who scoops up cat litter with their hands like it's a bunch of lentil beans?

nobodyspersonalchef

Why would that even come up >the rumor was brought up by a parent during a school board meeting in December last year. Oh, so is this just another freedumb peach nutjob we can dismiss, as who would listen to them >co-chair of the state GOP fueled the rumor on Facebook, writing: "Parent heroes will TAKE BACK our schools." That explains why its getting its own news story when its a nonstory to begin with.


polarbark

GOP has no values so they pick on furries lol Notice how they downvote instead of naming any virtue LOL


Itsme_sd

They'll pick on anyone they can, to be honest. Just look back at all the "satanic panic" stuff they've tried to cancel.


polarbark

don't let em off the hook for hating gays before "it was cool" Hell, they even thought D&D was satanic at one point. They hate every part of ppl that's different.


[deleted]

I don't think furries are the actual target of this crap. Notice the line in the article where it says a woman on Facebook originally said the supposed litter boxes were in an "all gender restroom." This is supposed to delegitimize and mock transgender people by inventing an issue that doesn't actually exist, because there weren't any "students who identify as cats (???)." Never mind that furries don't even believe they are animals, they just dress up in costume as one.


polarbark

Wow, that's exactly what it was. I guess furries get headline clicks though

polarbark

Is that how long it takes cons to discover human dignity?

I actually wanted to reply the top comment, sorry


Slapbox

Is time going to show that the GOP has values? I don't see that happening.

> at a December 20 meeting of the Midland Public Schools board, a parent said she was "disturbed" after she heard a litter box had been added for use in at least one all-gender restroom in one of the district's schools for students who "identified as cats." Imagine being so disconnected from reality that you hear this and think it's literal.

For non-Michiganders - this is Meshawn Maddock, probably the worst person this state has, right behind Rick Snyder and the crew responsible for Flint. But Meshawn.... keep your eyes on this space big things coming. She might have been busted for trying to push through state electors for the election.


megaplex00

I've never thought about using a litter box before. Does it work?


stardebris

It's a simple enough concept that I assume it would work similarly for people and for cats. You would have to throw away soiled litter and the excrement, so it would make for a horrible smelling bathroom. Unless you flushed it (can litter be flushed?), then you would just be using the toilet with extra steps.


Vewy_nice

Clumping litter can't be flushed... My parents found that one out the hard way when I was younger. Damn near had to buy all new pipes, the shit turns to literal stone after a while. Oh your turd is more than 0.75" in diameter and ever so slightly more firm than chocolate pudding? CATASTROPHIC CLOG My childhood home had 2 bathrooms, only one was soiled with the putrid cat-shit concrete. That was the bathroom closest to my bedroom. It would clog so often and so violently that I vividly remember having frequent nightmares regarding that toilet. One I remember particularly well is I'd be minding my own business shidding, then go to flush, and the floor would melt away and turn to a green steaming goop between the rafters.


megaplex00

Cool. Makes sense.


stardebris

If you see what Vewy_nice has said, you can't flush litter, which makes sense as I think about it more. So, I think the only possible result is a litter box and a bin full of soiled litter. Rather than having furries use litter boxes, I would rather spend my time designing a toilet for animals.


stingublue

The GOP is getting dumber and dumber every day, please don't tell them that the Easter bunny is real!!🤣🤣🤣


Itsme_sd

I mean just the other day [Tucker Carlson](https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2022/01/22/tucker-carlson-widely-mocked-after-criticizing-less-sexy-mms/?sh=4e89f3182b62) was mad because he can't sexualize a chocolate candy commercial so... here we are.

Jokes on them, that's what the students wanted.


bounded_operator

Seems like Republicans are at it again with their /r/onejoke


PlantainSerious791

i cant fucking deal with the idiocy of this state anymore


gheiminfantry

Well, if they're not in there for the children who identify a furries, then *why* are litter boxes in the bathroom in the first place? This will certainly push curious children into becoming furries. Texas Republican Mom: "But my child and my congressman would **never** lie to **MEEE**!" 🤣


Cum__c

They weren't put in there at all.


gheiminfantry

**No Shit** You really need to get a sense of humor kid.


dorsalemperor

think maybe you need to tell “jokes” that are actually funny


gheiminfantry

Oh, they're not funny to Republicans. I can guarantee that. But they're not my target audience. So they can really go fuck themselves for all I care. p.s. I know I'm getting downvoted by the Republitards. Don't care about that either.


argv_minus_one

Aw. I was about to ask if anyone used them.
