An Open Letter To Laura Ingraham

Dear Laura, 

I get that you’re a wingnut, bigot, hater, Fox News loon, but sometimes even you need to take a seat while the grown-ups talk.

I mean, what else are we supposed to glean from you after you say things like this:

“Oh we have a new transgender update for you as well. Oh no new transgender news for all of you who are bathroom-goers and public — you use public restrooms? I think a lot of people are going to be walking around with just Depends on from now on. They’re just not going to use the bathroom. Adult diapers, diapers for everybody. No one’s going to be going to the bathroom. You have little kids, there’s going to be no bathrooms. We’re just going to all wear Depends. Everyone will just be happy. Then you’ll be in your own bathroom. Everyone’s bathroom is just their own clothes, OK? So this is what we’re going to go to.”

Seriously, Laura, if the idea of a transgender person in the bathroom with you — and I doubt you could even tell who is trans and who isn’t — is so offensive that you’d rather stay home or where Depends then …

Stay home. And wear Depends.

Because the only danger that exists from having a trans person use the bathroom of the gender with which they identify would be finding some hate-filled bigot staring at them while they try to pee.

Seriously, which is scarier? A trans female in a stall, behind a closed door, doing her business, or a trans woman, or a woman even suspected of being trans, being stared down and scrutinized by some fear-riddled moron with nothing better to do?

So, Dear Laura, stay home, and leave the world to the rest of us who don’t live in fear, and lurk in bathrooms.

Slip on your Depends and pee away.

And shut up.
