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.

    You are not thinking of the next (idiotic) issues: hypothetical people doing drugs in the stall and hypothetical people having sex in the stall.

    Of couse if it was closed neither of the two would be an issue but, as far as I know, these are the motivators for the stupid stalls

      All the hypotheticals are just a race to the bottom.

      I can’t stand how so much of this country thinks bringing everyone down to combat a supposed extreme minority became the accepted solution to fucking everything.
