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.

        Maybe we need to go by where it was manufactured, and maybe they should come with labels etched into the porcelain so they don’t get mis-gendered and placed incorrectly?

            I dunno, if we do that it might cause some black market certificate situation with people trying to unlawfully place male toilets in the female bathrooms.
