The legislation takes aim directly at trans individuals using the restroom or locker rooms, threatening those who “knowingly” and “willfully” enter facilities designated for the “opposite biological sex” with prison time. A first offense would count as a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. Those caught using the bathroom in repeated offenses, however, could be convicted as felons and face up to five years in prison.

It’ll be interesting to see how this aligns with the Full Faith and Credit clause for someone who updates their birth certificate from another state that allows for that then uses the bathroom that aligns with said certificate.

      Shut the fuck up, regard. If we did that how the hell would we be able to attack this easy target of vulnerable people?!

      The real reason? Because men can’t control themselves and women have reasons to fear for their safety in closed spaces with them.

        Men are entirely capable of controlling themselves, I can attest to that personally.

        Your’s isn’t an argument, it’s the confession of a predator.

          Next time, maybe duck. Because holy shit that went right over your head.

          You’re the “not all men” type, eh?

            No, every single man is capable of controlling themselves, you’re just a psychopath.

            Edit: Why should I have ducked if it had already been going over my head? Also, it’s hilarious that you of all people would try to use “I was just joking” as a reply, considering what I’ve seen from your other comments. Were you just joking when you were talking about how you want to censor trans folks out of existence?

            Also, you’re into prediction markets and crypto. You are a giant fucking red flag, holy shit.

              I’m into what? Lmao no I’m not. I’d love to see how you came to that conclusion.

              considering what I’ve seen from your other comments. Were you just joking when you were talking about how you want to censor trans folks out of existence?

              You are DEFINITELY thinking of someone else, considering I’m married to a trans person… And in a poly relationship with another trans woman.

              Edit: On second thought I’m just gonna block you.

        There are gender neutral bathrooms all over the place.

        It’s a sexist idea that men can’t control themselves.
