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.
Where can I place bets on when a place has a broken men’s or women’s toilet and someone gets arrested for using the only functioning option.

There was a situation like that at a local state beach park and they had some park ranger stand at the door just tell men they would have to wait as the women’s room was being repaired and sanitized and … ladies first. They did not investigate anyone’s junk… just went by what bathing suits people were wearing.

The Republicans have distilled their hatred to be only for “biological sex” and included a specific exemption for that in the text of the bill.
Someone will still get arrested for that though.
