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.

    Neither of those are bad actually; they are indeed idiotic issues

    People doing drugs? They should be allowed to. Banning them doesn’t work; the government should just properly regulate them. Like how the EU is dealing with cigarettes. And in that case people would be less inclined to hide drug use.

    People fucking? I mean like maybe it’s not the best place to do it. But if it’s properly closed off it’s not like anyone will see it; it’s not indecent.

      Yeah, but a business doesn’t want someone to OD in their public bathroom - it’s bad for business.
