(Note: This comic has been transcribed below.)

We’re not falling for the lie that banning transgender women from women’s public restrooms is about protecting cis women from predators.

Check out who’s telling us these lies, and you’ll know exactly why we’re seeing right through them. This comic reveals who’s really behind these bills – and the sexual assault statistics they would be addressing instead if they really cared about doing something about rape.

When these bills are actually upholding rape culture instead of helping dismantle it, it’s clear that they’re not about “safety” at all.
