Idaho lawmakers passed a sweeping bathroom ban Friday, approving legislation that would make it a crime for transgender people to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity, even inside privately owned businesses.
If Republican Gov. Brad Little signs the bill, Idaho will have the strictest bathroom ban in the nation, subjecting people to time behind bars if they knowingly enter a bathroom, locker room or changing area that does not correspond with their sex assigned at birth.
Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and sentenced to a year in jail for a first offense, or a felony with up to five years in prison for a second offense.
New bathroom meta: Individual single toilet and sink bathrooms. Just number them instead of labelling them. Can’t have a gender problem if there isn’t a gendered common to begin with.
If I was a business owner in Idaho (or any of these states where the law makers are obsessed with people’s genitalia), I’d have a nice bathroom for anyone of any gender, and a squalid closet with a hole in the ground for anyone that voted for this.
Everyone knows there’s only two genders: reasonable people and dipshits
this, and trans people just want to piss and shit and leave like everyone else. its all a culture war being drummed up to keep us fighting while they steal our money
“You don’t LOOK like a 2…”
Plenty of places already have open multi gender bathrooms with individual stalls with real doors, and a shared hand washing area.
