The protests played out exactly as most people thought they would. The large cities, who normally vote center or left, had more counter-protestors than protestors. This was not the case in smaller cities and towns, which normally vote right.
Something that I found uplifting is that even in my small town, there were counter protesters. Not more than the pro outting-trans-kids-to-their-parents-so-they-become-homeless crowd, but there was a least a group.
The oval shape is so a penis doesn’t touch the seat/bowl when you sit.
On round toilets, someone with a penis might need to touch the seat with their hands the whole time they are seated.
