      You don’t have to drive far outside of Portland to see Trump flags flying on along the highway.

      It was also a single occupant bathroom with a locking door. No real reason for it to even be gendered.

      Portland and the surrounding areas are this weird dichotomy of super left-wing and super right-wing people all in the same place. Hence why you tend to get a lot of Proud Boys vs Antifa demonstrations/standoffs/fights there.

      I live in Toronto, and when you live in a place that’s accepting of something like transgender people, the bigots feel attacked and become more vocal. The racists in Toronto get pretty vocal and I always wonder what the hell you’re doing in one of the most multi cultural cities in the world if you don’t like others
