New pro-Democrat ad praised as masterclass in skewering GOP's "creepy fetish" for policing bathrooms

A new pro-Democrat ad skewering the Republican obsession with trans people is making waves across the internet.
The 30-second ad from the Progress Action Fund (PAF) depicts a white-haired man in a suit sitting inside a bathroom stall. A young girl trying to use the bathroom then opens the stall door and screams upon seeing him.
"I'm your Republican Congressman," he tells her in a raspy voice. "Now that we're in charge, I'm checking to make sure there's no trans people in the wrong bathroom."
The girl responds, "Bathrooms are private. Don't you have anything better to do?"
"I won the last election, and this is my priority," the Congressman replies. And in perhaps the most powerful moment, the ad ends with a close-up of the generic Republican's face as he creepily says, "Now let's make sure you're really a girl."
The ad will air on television in both Texas and Ohio as part of a broader $1 million ad buy. Many are praising it as a masterclass in responding to anti-trans attacks, as it calls out not only how ridiculous it is that Republicans are focused on trans people instead of actual problems facing the country, but also how inappropriate and invasive the party's anti-trans policies are – for both cis and trans people alike.

Yeah, I saw that ad. It's spot-on! The country is burning down around us, and these creeps are focused on this. Sickos.

There were cases of men going in women's bathrooms in Washington state to try and get signatures to get a bathroom law on the books via the ballot. The guys were forced out. I don't believe have attempted again because they lost so badly. I'm glad they are putting out an add to prove that point finally. I just wish it was nationally broadcast. Hugs
