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.

    Every time I hear stuff like this I wonder what they expect trans Men to do.

    What about intersex people?

      They refuse to accept that intersex people exist. If it’s explained to them, they dismiss it because they’re “a tiny minority”. To which I say, so are blind people and there isn’t a fight to get people to accept that they exist and require accommodations
