    Seems cruel and unusual. Also does this mean a guy can’t clean the women’s bathroom and vice versa?

    If they are passing legislation for things they believe are a myth, then when is the anti-bigfoot legislation coming? What about Chupacabra leash laws? Vampire curfew? Ghost noise ordinances?

    My point is, I guess, that people typically don’t pass laws against things they think aren’t real in the first place.

    I just wish I was allowed to live as an equal in peace as I feel fit to live.

    I hope each of those who voted this way never is able to use a public restroom again

    So many headlines over the past year are things I remember seeing out of China and Russia over the past decade

    Russian politicians claim the same thing about gays. I believe it was in Chechnya

    Reading through the bill, they use the term “biological sex” without defining it

    What amateurs are writing these laws? Not even defining terms? I get the vagueness of it is the point, but there are a lot of edge cases that will be in limbo from this

    How far away are we from gay people just being stoned to death in public in the US?

    Wait… if trans people are a myth, doesn’t that mean that anyone going into the women’s restroom is a woman and anyone going into the men’s restroom is a man?

    IDK about y’all, but in that scenario, I’d just shoot the cop.

    Dead cops can’t arrest anyone, trans or not.

    Remember when you could get in a car with your mother/wife/sister/girlfriend/daughter/neice/grandma/aunt and drive across the country and they’d have the same human rights from sea to shining sea and now they gain and lose basic human rights as they cross state borders?

    Yeah, Republicans did that. They are traitors and the enemy of the American people.

    I could see the vigilante justice response to this would be the theft of gender labeled bathroom signs. It then becomes a 50/50 gamble whether any human that needs to empty their bladder goes to prison for 5 years. Even just opening the door to see if there are urinals or stalls-only should run afoul of this law. Bonus points for activists following lawmakers that voted for this when the lawmaker needs to use a bathroom in an unfamiliar place.

      The vigilante move is to protect your trans homies by taking out the cop who is trying to arrest someone for being fuckin trans.
