PROVISIONS
· States a person commits disorderly conduct if they intentionally
enter a public restroom, bathroom, shower, bath, dressing room or locker
room, and a sign indicates that the room is exclusively for the use of one
sex, and that person is not legally classified as a member of that sex on
their birth certificate.

· Classifies the disorderly conduct violation as a Class 1
misdemeanor (6 months/$2,500).

as if using the restroom wasn't terrifying enough as a trans woman

i hate everything about this and i hate that i'm going to hear a lot of hate speech defending it

I'm against mono-gender bathrooms anyways. It makes no sense. Just get rid of the damn open stall urinals and let everyone use the same bathroom. Call me crazy, but I think it'd go a long way to equalizing men and women if we could all just shit in the same room without feeling terribly awkward.

What are people afraid of anyways? Like if a guy goes into the women's room he's just going to start tearing down stalls and wanking it?

This is an even stupider proposition when you consider parents of young children. If I had a young daughter I wouldn't let her go to a public restroom (or any room for that matter) alone, so its a coin toss as to which of us would be breaking the law. She's in the men's room or I'm in the women's room.

Universal bathrooms should be implement.

Unfortunately if your average American male ever sees a tampon dispenser on the wall of a public bathroom he will spontaneously combust in sheer rage fueled misogyny, apparently.

A world united by toilets!!

Ok though, i`m not sure if THAT is a solution... but this provision is not a solution to anything also. It`s actually quite stupid and evocative of hate.

he is the Chariman in the committee that went for those provisions. He is up for election in 26 days from now. Go make a dent.

I'm pretty sure that removing arbitrary gender boundaries is a pretty good solution to removing arbitrary gender boundaries.

Separate but equal isn't really equal at all, is it?

Here's a thing you can sign if you're the sort of person who thinks those work. (https://www.allout.org/en/actions/arizona)

When asked why the bill targeted trans people he explained that it's because he thinks "they're weird."

Serious second thoughts about going out to visit my family this summer. The marker on my license doesn't mean shit against that bill, they really did their best to twist the knife on that one.

Stupid lawmaker that makes legislation based on personal taste and not for the betterment of thier electorate.

They really will just let anyone propose legislation huh. Well I think that exposure would breed tolerance. Let us pull down the artifice of "protection" from the "abnormal" and recognize that everyone has differences. Even though you may not understand it doesn't mean it is wierd.
I bet this particular lawmaker would be very uncomfortable seeing a post operative trans goimg into what appears to be the wrong bathroom based on the legal requirement no? This person no doubt has never met a transgendered person.
Ya know, cause they're wierd.
What an arsehole.
