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.
I use a unisex bathroom in Austin that had urinals and stalls. I felt like such a badass when I kept my composition while making a peepee while three women passed behind me going in and out of the bathroom.
And when I went to wash my hands, no one looked at each other or said hi or anything. The way it should be in a bathroom. Quit talking to me while I’m trying to not pee on the floor, guys!
The coolest bathroom experience I have ever had was when I attended my sister’s graduation ceremony from university.
There was a white tie dinner party after the ceremony, and every one was dressed up, it was a super happy and friendly atmosphere, full of beautiful men and women.
Anyway, I had to go to the toilet, so I found the men’s room and opened the door…
…and immediately got confused…
…the first thing I saw was a beautiful woman in a crowd of other beautiful men and women!
The party kept going!
And the most remarkable thing was that the wall between the women’s and men’s rooms wasn’t there.
Instead there was a really cool central sink and booths on either side.
It was brilliant!
Thank you for sharing that story; I had a similar dream just a few months ago! But in my dream, some “premium” stalls had bidets in them, and the stalls were floor to ceiling with relaxing music playing inside, so I got to enjoy the most relaxing public poop ever! I’m honestly surprised that I didn’t piss the bed with a dream like that…
