Police called on boy with autism and mum using toilet in anti-trans incident

More toilet hysteria.
A manufactured panic about trans people using the toilets they feel safest in, making them (and any other gender non-conforming individual) unsafe regardless of which choice they make, also makes it unsafe for parents to take their young or disabled children to the toilet if the child happens to be a different sex from the parent.
We need to bury these establishments in costly litigation that force these laws to be repealed. Ridiculous people.

They can’t, but that’s not a flaw: the stated aim is to terrify and harass trans people out of public venues, but the side effects, of policing ANY behavior or presentation that is outside of cultural norms - autistic people, short haired women, effeminate men - the point is to use cruelty to enforce homogeneity.
How the Nazis started, by getting people angry over nothing
Ehhhh… I wouldn't say over nothing. Germany was in crisis following The Great War. Were Nazis assholes and monsters and did they prey on bullshit fears of others? Yeah, definitely. But also, their society was falling apart due to massive inflation and street fights and the like.
I'm not apologizing for anyone or anything. Only pointing out that post-WWI Germany was completely fucked up.
You're correct. What I meant by nothing was using a group of people as scapegoats.
Glances at climate change rumbling towards us.
Exactly, this is the point. They want to scare trans people back into hiding.
I think even more broadly, they want to encourage the harassment of anyone who goes outside their definition of what is culturally acceptable.
