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We need to bury these establishments in costly litigation that force these laws to be repealed.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.
A local AMC near me used to have specific screenings for people with autism where the lights were turned up a bit so it wasn’t completely dark, the sound wasn’t turned up as loud, you were allowed to make noise and weren’t asked to leave over stereotypy/tics, allowed to bring in outside food, you could leave and come back, etc
I think they called them “sensory friendly screenings” or something like that? I worked in an autism group home at the time and we would take our clientele to them, the theater was super accommodating. I don’t think all of them do it though
This was like 2011 though and I feel like things have gotten worse in the us since then tho so maybe it’s much less common now
AMC still does sensory friendly screenings, though it looks like it’s only at certain locations.
Very interesting. I can see all of that being more comfortable for people on the spectrum. Thanks!
Wow that’s so nice, I had no idea theaters did that. That’s like a daily uplifting news story right there!
