Transcript

00:00:00.000 What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:00:11.820 I'm going to the potty.
00:00:12.960 This is the girls' bathroom.
00:00:14.920 All right, I need to tell you something, Wendy.
00:00:16.880 I'm transgender.
00:00:18.860 What?
00:00:19.500 Did you notice the bow?
00:00:20.560 I'm not comfortable with the sex I was assigned at birth,
00:00:22.340 so I'm exercising my right to identify with the gender of my choice.
00:00:24.440 Now get out of my way. I have to take a shit.
00:00:30.000 Get out of here!
00:00:34.880 Don't give me more issues than I already have, Wendy.
00:00:37.540 Oh, wow, this is nice in here.
00:00:39.720 The girls' bathroom's a lot cleaner than the boys'.
00:00:41.300 What the hell is that?
00:00:45.480 Cartman is using our bathroom.
00:00:47.560 Dude, this is awesome.
00:00:48.400 I should have used the girls' bathroom a long time ago.
00:00:50.000 Hey, I'm going to tell on you.
00:00:51.560 It's okay, Red. I can take a shit here.
00:00:52.880 I'm a dumb chick, too.
00:00:53.620 I want to know just what makes you think it's okay to go inside the girls' bathroom.
00:01:02.480 Because I'm transgender.
00:01:03.560 I looked it up. That means I can use the girls' shitter.
00:01:05.580 You are not transgender, Eric.
00:01:08.120 You don't even know what that means.
00:01:10.020 Yeah, huh?
00:01:10.420 It means I live a life of torture and confusion because society sees me as a boy,
00:01:12.900 but I'm really a girl.
00:01:14.460 All right.
00:01:15.040 Well, if you identify yourself as a girl, you must find yourself attracted to boys.
00:01:19.080 Is that right?
00:01:20.360 That's actually not true.
00:01:21.500 I can be transgender without it having anything to do with the gender I'm attracted to.
00:01:25.160 Check the state bylaws.
00:01:26.720 All right, listen, Eric.
00:01:27.960 Erica.
00:01:28.580 Listen, Eric.
00:01:29.960 You must know why we can't have you in the girls' bathroom.
00:01:33.120 All I know is I'm transgender, and you can't make me go to the bathroom with the cis-gingers.
00:01:37.380 With the what?
00:01:39.880 Cisgender.
00:01:40.720 It's the politically correct name for people who aren't transgender.
00:01:44.280 If you identify with the sex you were born with, then you're cis.
00:01:47.420 But then cisgender is just normal.
00:01:50.060 Saying normal is extremely offensive to people who aren't in that group.
00:01:54.700 Trust me, you don't want this hot potato.
00:01:57.180 Just let them use the girls' room.
00:01:59.160 But this isn't a hurting, confused child we're talking about.
00:02:01.860 This is Eric Cartman.
00:02:03.280 Nobody else is going to know that.
00:02:05.000 You better just give him what he wants.
00:02:07.100 So Eric Cartman just has us in some kind of bathroom checkmate?
00:02:10.320 Actually, it's more like a royal flag.
