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.
We allow our pet dogs to piss anywhere. Yet if you can’t find a “public” bathroom, or find some business to buy a pack of gum for 25c, in order to be a customer to use their restroom, and you piss in an alley around the corner, you face charges like indecent exposure. All because you had to do some very basic natural function but society had placed obstacles and then labels you a criminal. Yet somehow everyone is so goddamn concerned over which bathroom you use.
The U.S. constitution is so old that the writers didn’t see it being a problem (presumably) to not have an explicit right to bodily autonomy.

John Adams’s wife, Abigail, wrote him a letter when he was off with the boys at the Continental Congress. She was picking a bone about the lack of protections given to women from their husbands and likened the relationship to that of the colonies and Britain. She was suggesting women should be codified to have more rights. He wrote back something like, “As to your extraordinary code of laws, I cannot but laugh.”
The founding fathers were just as misogynistic as any MAGA fuckhead.
Yes men were like that 240 years ago
Many still are
I mean, the bulk of them did own other human beings as property…
