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 do know that the India government had to do a campaign to say “poop on the toilet”, right? And 1200 million people is not a minority.

          Again, how is a public health campaign relevant to the discussion? You just like taking pot shots for no reason, I don’t post about Americans eating so much processed food we have wheelchairs to get around a grocery store but somehow can’t feed school children.

            “Trans people can’t go to the bathroom” -> “will they have to pee on the street?”

            Is it clearer now?
