The form lets people reporting trans bathroom users submit up to 5 photos even though taking pictures in restrooms is illegal.

Texas’ virulently anti-trans attorney general, Ken Paxton ®, has launched a tip line that allows people to report on suspected trans people they believe are violating the state’s new bathroom ban.

In a statement announcing the tip line, Paxton said the Texas Women’s Privacy Act – which requires people in public buildings to use bathrooms based on sex assigned at birth – “was passed to ensure that women and girls in Texas are protected from mentally ill men wanting to violate their basic right to privacy.”

“It’s absolute insanity that action like this is even needed,” he claimed, “but unfortunately, in the day and age of radical leftism, it is.”

In reality, research has shown no evidence that allowing trans women access to single-sex spaces like bathrooms poses a safety risk to cisgender women.

    I’m waiting to see how this blows up in their face by people just sending millions of memes and generative AI pictures inflicting a DDOS

    Edit: adjusted acronym; Denial of Service or Distributed Denial of Service

      If we’re doing it right they should all be AI generated trans versions of Republican leaders and podcast bros.

      It should just be pictures of Ken Paxton. S/he is dressing like a man to sneak into the men’s bathroom to stare at dude’s dicks and smell their farts. It’s perverted, and the people of Texas shouldn’t stand for it.

      you mean DOS… or really DDOS.

      i think this will blow up naturally when people start get arrested/ beat up, for taking pictures of strangers in the bathroom
