Quote:Yeah, he is gay.


These laws are last ditch efforts try and slow down a changing society. They are not even realistic. Are the police going to do a crotch check as every person enters a bathroom? They will be as effective as gun free zones. If someone is going to attack someone in the bathroom a law saying they can't go in the bathroom isn't going to stop them, just like the law sayng they can't attack someone didn't.

Oh, and states that allow trans people to use whichever bathroom haven't seen a single case of trans people attacking unsuspecting non-trans people. Why not make a law saying it's illegal to pretend to be trans in order to commit a crime? Wouldn't it be better to punish the criminals instead of innocent people?

No, but there have been issues with straight people using a restroom/locker room they don't belong in because according to them the law said they could use any restroom they wanted. And I agree, punish people who are breaking the law, but unless the person outright says they're straight like the example I just mentioned, how are you going to know the person is who they say they are? Just because someone says something it doesn't make it true. 

 

In the link above the guy was kicked out of the restroom but returned later when young girls were changing for swim practice. This is the sort of thing that people are worried about outside of seeing men in women's restrooms and women in men's. People with bad intentions can and will take advantage of this and it will be a very bad day the first time a kid gets molested in a state that has this law in effect. And not molested by a transgender, but by someone who took advantage of the system because in their mind, "the law has changed and I have a right to be here."
