The first criminal bathroom ban with a jail sentence has just taken effect overnight in Florida. Florida is now dangerous for transgender people to travel through, with arrests likely in coming days.
All it takes is one case to be made to let trans people know they are on notice. Then it is back to the gay-bashing of olde. This is a dog whistle to individuals to take “the law” in their own hands and harass, including the use of violence, trans people from being visible. Calling up the brown shirts. They can now say that the law is on their side.
Dude, I’m a tall homely woman with long hair who dresses femme and always wears make-up; and I’ve been yelled at for using the women’s restroom. There needs to be a 5’3 gate at the door with a sign on it “You must be shorter than this to use this bathroom!” Like those gates on carnival rides.
How is this even enforceable???

Gonna get real interesting when an angry mob calls the cops on a homely woman trying to use the women’s restroom.

It’s going to get rough.
