Facebook has attempted to censor a Washington woman who posted viral meme-like photos opposing the push to allow men who self identify as female into women's bathrooms after some angry viewers falsely flagged her post for "nudity."
In photos posted to Facebook earlier this month, Kristi Merritt of Lakewood, Washington, dressed up in a series of costumes to prove her point that no matter what or who she dressed up like, she will never actually be a what she appears to be in the photos.
One photo shows Merritt dressed up like a pirate, holding a sign that reads, "Does this make me a pirate?" Another photo shows Merritt wearing a sombrero and holding a Corona and a sign that states, "Does this make me a Mexican?" In another photo, Merritt wore a Russell Wilson Seattle Seahawks jersey while holding a football and a football helmet along with a sign that asks, "Does this make me Russell Wilson?"
Merritt posted another photo showing a dress, purse and high-heel shoes laid out on the floor next to signs that read, "Then how can this make a man into a woman?"
Merritt, whose state enacted statewide regulations making it illegal to prohibit transgender individuals from using public bathrooms and other changing areas for the opposite biological sex last December, posted a political message along with the series of photos.
"A man in women's clothes does not make him a woman," Merritt wrote. "Men should not get to be in our bathrooms or lockers!"
Merritt's Facebook photos have been shared by over 111,000 people and have amassed thousands of likes.
In an update that was posted in the comment section of the photo series days later, Merritt explained that Facebook tried to get her to remove her pictures because they had been flagged for nudity despite the fact that Merritt was not even close to being naked or risque in the photos.
