How did this get to a debate on religion when the issue is over toilets?
You can't enforce the law. Passed or Not. No city, town, or state, has enough police power to have someone STANDING at the restroom to check birth certificates. They have much better things to do with their time. Even in school a principal or an assistant principal isn't going to stand and make sure that some trans student is using the right bathroom. Half the time my Principal has to cancel meetings with me because of one crisis or another. Kids with weapons, kids with drugs, kids tying kids up in bathrooms with scarfs, fights, testing, truancy, parents, I can keep going on. The whole thing is stupid and a general waste of time and tax-money to have someone write up and pass something as moronic as this in the first place.
They need to focus on more important things. What about mental health programs? Mentioning this because the argument that young boys are apparently born sexual predators and that allowing trans people into bathrooms means that every young boy is going to claim they're trans now, LET'S NOT even BEGIN to get into the fact that here in SEATTLE the home of the largest LGBT community second to San Francisco people are STILL afraid to come out because of bullying (we have an openly gay teacher here and the students bully the CRAP out of him/her, they still make gay jokes and call each other faggets), much less in the south, there's no way a young kid will go to the excuse of "Oh I'm in here because I'm Trans" the thought makes me laugh. They're more likely to admit to doing drugs or drinking on campus then admit something like that. Or what about victim's Rights against sexual assault? Something that states CLAIM to have but when only like 20 or 30 percent of all sexual assaults are reported in the first place. Personally, I see THIS as a bigger problem then who gets to pee in what toilet.
As a constituent of the state, you should be bitching about the time and money wasted over this versus should the federal government force the state to remove the bill.
