Texas unveils "tip line" to report & send pictures of suspected trans women using the restroom
The form lets people reporting trans bathroom users submit up to 5 photos even though taking pictures in restrooms is illegal.
Texas’ virulently anti-trans attorney general, Ken Paxton (R), has launched a tip line that allows people to report on suspected trans people they believe are violating the state’s new bathroom ban.
In a statement announcing the tip line, Paxton said the Texas Women’s Privacy Act – which requires people in public buildings to use bathrooms based on sex assigned at birth – “was passed to ensure that women and girls in Texas are protected from mentally ill men wanting to violate their basic right to privacy.”
“It’s absolute insanity that action like this is even needed,” he claimed, “but unfortunately, in the day and age of radical leftism, it is.”
In reality, research has shown no evidence that allowing trans women access to single-sex spaces like bathrooms poses a safety risk to cisgender women.

What's the number? goatse might not be able to handle the load.
If there's one thing goatse can do, it's handle a load

And wouldn't you know it, mullvad has a Texas exit node. Lol.
Interesting, each form allows 512mb total of data upload.
I wonder how much storage their backend has, and whether they've properly put their database on a separate volume from their OS.
Only one way to find out....
DAMMIT! As a Mentally ill man I was in the MIDDLE of Spending HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of Dollars to Change my Gender JUST so I can use the Same bathroom as GIRLS! But he's FOILED my Plan!
‘If you allow transgender women into women's bathrooms, it will be a loophole for predators’
Wasn't one of the arguements made by ammosexuals about gun control was that we shouldn't have gun control cause criminals won't follow the law therefore was no point?
Btw, that issue is a bit weird, because my long-standing (and rather obvious) view is that US conservatives are economically lax but socially repressive, while dems are the other way around — both corresponding to collectivist tendencies, but in different areas. Well, guns don't strictly fall into any one of those approaches, since you can't really allow having guns just for one's own enjoyment in the privacy of their home or at the nearest shooting range. Conservatives should forbid guns based on their restriction of individual expression, while dems should forbid guns according to the view that not everything that can be bought is beneficial toward other people. Or vice versa, conservatives allow guns based on economic laissez-faire, while dems allow them based on an individual's freedom to do as they wish with their own life.

Maralago face looks masculine.
There i said it.
I don't even know how.
Since it's pumped lips and lifted eye brows. But it makes the women look like they are men in drag but somehow super ugly.
(Cause drag queens are fabulous.)
I am totally on board for harassing conservative women with maralago or non-maralago face in the women's restroom.
I'll do my best to memorize the faces/names of local women from the heritage foundation, mothers for liberty group (or whatever they are called) and any other similar groups. Any woman wearing maga clothing (why do they advertise themselves?).
And I will 100% question them about their vagina or lack there of, while in the bathroom. I will demand to see it or threaten to call security or the police.
Let's see how they like that.
Since I'm white, short, and look and sound like a woman. I will use my pussy privilege and take on this responsibility. 😇 I promise to rise to the occasion and punish these bitches as best I can.
I've got a lot of feminist rage in me over all the b.s occurring and need an outlet. It's a win win for me personally.
I'm a real big fan of this kind of energy!
To me it looks like someone has dysmorphia and has replaces their normal face with a stare-eyed duck mask.
Of course it does, you have a bunch of narcissistic billionaire men who are in love with themselves.
The clouds above my neighbourhood are getting sick of me screaming at them everyday, they actually got together and left a letter on my porch, didn't even know clouds could do that. On the plus side, I now know the fluffy one's name is Lobo now. The rage is real.
From my understanding it happens because decades of injections have essentially ruined their face right? And they basically can't stop getting them because they would look like a monster. So the only solution is to keep getting injections on a regular basis. It's worse in people that started getting injections in their 20s because by the time they are 40 it's just unrecoverable.
I could be totally wrong if someone has a better explanation. But I don't think they are actually wanting to look like that. Its just "the best that can be done" at that point.
Idk. I hear the injection stuff builds up and turns solid over time.
I mean. There is Botox. Which paralyzes the muscles. And then there is filler. Which is the stuff that builds up and stays in the face. Sometimes migrates around.
Internet, you know what to do
Fire bomb the building that houses the tip line? Plant a car bomb into the Republican governor's car? Spam the tip line for a few weeks and then forget about it? I'ma bet we only do the last one.
Is Ken Paxton virulently anti-trans? Because this feels like the last ditched effort of a desparate man in a red state who lost access to his favorite porn sub-genre when Pornhub pulled out. Feels very voyeur trans scat fetish-esque to me.
He said he would be enforcing anti-sodomy laws if the supreme court let him.
Why is it always suspected trans women? Paxton probably uses ED pills, which are gender-affirming care, we can start there.
I’m looking forward to the invasion of privacy lawsuits that will come as a result of this.
And I hope every motherfucker that takes a single picture is publicly listed as a sex offender.
I’m waiting to see how this blows up in their face by people just sending millions of memes and generative AI pictures inflicting a DDOS
Edit: adjusted acronym; Denial of Service or Distributed Denial of Service
If we're doing it right they should all be AI generated trans versions of Republican leaders and podcast bros.
you mean DOS… or really DDOS.
i think this will blow up naturally when people start get arrested/ beat up, for taking pictures of strangers in the bathroom
It should just be pictures of Ken Paxton. S/he is dressing like a man to sneak into the men's bathroom to stare at dude's dicks and smell their farts. It's perverted, and the people of Texas shouldn't stand for it.
So basically this is a way you can harass cisgender women who don't match beauty standards.
That's the end goal: Restoring old-fashioned gender roles.
Exactly.
What if someone saw Ken Paxton pulling up his fishnets after visiting a gloryhole?
Sounds like a great AI prompt
“Radical leftism” is treating every person like human beings, regardless of their gender, race, religion, or income.
The age of radical leftism, when every branch of the government is lead by violent rightwing extremists.
I have (unfortunately) way too many family connections to the right, and that's their way to "cuck the left". They claim "the left" has gone too far to force them to cede grounds on things one by one. In fact they're advising new recruits to imagine, that:
2+2=5 and 2+2=4 simultaneously
Enlightened centrists "I can't tell the difference between the radical left and the far right."
Yooo what the fuck?
I wonder how many women will be getting photographed mistakenly (or out of malice) and accused of being trans?
I think this number will be more than population of T people in Texas. Also some T people on estrogen looks enough feminine to not be suspected.
Even as someone who's only a year into transition, I get a LOT more stares in a men's room than I do a women's room (which is actually zero) at this point. I have a good friend who was already pretty femme pre-transition and if she's in a men's room, guys will absolutely turn around and check the sign. As much as people think they can instantly clock a trans person, it's far less the case than you might think, and a trans man going into a women's restroom is going to be a problem just as the opposite is true.
They know but it's not an argument being made in good faith.
Once people realize they effectively forcing men into women's washrooms by law, they'll try to stop 'vagina people' from wearing pants.
Cruelty is the point. Trans people are a small enough population and partially hidden so they are a great target as they aren't in a great position to defend themselves effectively.
They want pics of trans women peeing? I mean, if that's what they want, send it to them
ken paxton got divorced because he cheated on his wife and sleeps alone now so he's gotta jerk off to something
I suspect he sleeps it off surrounded by corporately financed call girls. Austin is choke full of sex workers.
Im sure someone on here has a couple gigs to get them started....
Is there a tip line to report a corrupt greed monster wearing human skin that is currently occupying the Texas AG office?
Here you go
Finally, an use for AI slop.
last time i checked there was a 250mb limit on attachments and you can attach up to five so feel free to flood their storage with 1gb of word docs each submission. :)
...What the fuck is wrong with all of you?
Bad vision and arthritis.
I would have said learned helplessness and self-serving apathy, but that too probably.
It really isn't all of us ... 😒
I know, but right now that doesn't seem to make a sufficient practical difference to curtail this Nazi bullshit.
all y'all.
athe problem.is the GOP. Texas isn't nearly as red as people think.
The GOP got total control of the Texas government for the first time ever in the 2002 election. They then spent 2003 dedicating themselves to changing laws and voting districts to make sure they never lost that control.
When was the last time Texas had a Democrat governor? Or Senator?
So like could these photos be used as evidence against the photographer for taking illegal pictures?
So they want right-wing pedos and creeps to creep on strangers in public spaces because... somehow doing exactly that isn't already illegal? Huh?
Unironically, yes. This is a very pedo friendly government
Yet another case of "The lady doth protest too much..."
So make it legal to take pictures of women in a private place and send them to mentally ill men?
I know it might seem beneficial to flood the tip line with garbage data but they don't care about the truth and months from now they will just say that they have evidence of thousands and thousands of perpetrators and they'll use your garbage data as their talking point
What if it was all AI generated images of frogs using the restroom?
yeah but they'd have to show off their 3tb of goatse pictures that they got as evidence
Creeps encouraging creepy behavior.
Back in my day taking pictures in a women's restroom got you arrested ... now there is a tip line for it.
Max image size is 256MB??? 👀👀👀
A webform you say?... I wonder what little Bobby Tables would think of that...
The modern equivalent is talking Grok, ChatGPT, et al. into filling it in and sending 5 pictures they just fabricated with each submission, repeatedly. Using every image of every right wing tart they can find online as the base image set.

Not sure how to spoof it. I made up an email address and it rejected it.
Interestingly enough, every business, especially small ones, have email addresses.
Any repercussions for an innocent business?
I use emails from my spam folder
Glad to see they're tackling the real issues! /s
Track down all the women related to these assholes who passed this and send in their photos. They will shut it down real fast once their mother is accused
Maybe we can let trans people live their lives.
Instead, let’s report sex offenders. We could upload the epstein files to the tipline - apparently evety black rectangle represents a sexual assault committed by Trump.
Here you go.
Sounds like people need to flood the line with pictures of conservative women.
Or just pictures of Ken Paxton and every other politician who supports this.
I hope this gets flooded with people reporting ghouls with maralago face
Cis people should be banned from all public bathrooms no one wants to see these conformists.
If that's what it takes for our Trans brothers and sisters to get treated right, I'll take one for the team.
This is just hateful
Narc: No one
