Step 1) turn up heat in chamber and offer free drinks to all Republican house members and proceed to filibuster the next bill
Step 2) close all men’s rooms in the facility.
Step 3) place female police officers inside every women’s bathroom in the facility.
Step 4) put mug shots of every arrested Republican on the front page of the paper.
bonus: make them all register as sex offenders.
Police aren't going to help
They're already registered Republicans.
The Republicans have distilled their hatred to be only for "biological sex" and included a specific exemption for that in the text of the bill.
That sounds a lot like that king of the hill episode lol
Bold of you to assume Republican state house members won't get preferential treatment by judges they golf with.
What a bunch of backward idiots. How can anyone make such a fool of themselves?
The collapse. If you can measure the sanity of an empire by it's laws, this is stage 7 rot.
I did think the potato quality had dropped recently. It seems it reached the state government.
Piss in the streets, lesser fine.
That's a really good point. Just drop your drawers and take a shit on the floor in front of the bathroom since you're not allowed in. 3 months is better than 5 years!
Also, it's goddamned ridiculous that it's far less serious to publicly defecate than to go in a bathroom and use a toilet.
But you very likely have to register as a sex offender.
I think that's the point of this bill as well.
Quick question: If a person is sentenced to 5 years in prison for this, and they need the bathroom while in the prison… do they get another 5 years every time they go?
Of course. American prison is about punishment, not making people better.
Punishment and legal slave labor! Yay America!
They would go to a prison for their birth gender, so no.
Prisons are typically single sex and I don't think they will put people in the correct prison.
Even if you're a raging transphobe and actually believe trans people shouldn't/don't exist, 5 years in jail for going in the wrong bathroom is fucking insane and kind of gives the game away that these people are performatively cruel shitstains. (In case there was any doubt)
How many years for shitting on the floor outside my bathroom of choice?
Someone else in the thread found the penalty.
It’s 3 months in jail
Wrong question.
Right question: how many years for shitting on the desks of the Idaho state representatives that passed this?
How about we just make seperate bathrooms for MAGA. I don't want those peeping Toms and Tammy trying to look at my private parts.

Lesser Idaho keeps going lower & lower & …
Well at least Iran is trying to fuck with the USA.
Let's start a gofundme to send Buck Angel to Idaho. They'll change their mind when they see Buck and which bathroom they've now legislated him to use.
Stop using trans men like this. It doesn’t work like that and never has. Actually doing it would put trans men at further risk of violence, and these legislators do not care one bit about who is using the bathrooms or not. They just want to criminalise being trans in public, which this is very effective at doing - since you can’t safely use either bathroom in reality.
He's kind of an asshole, maybe we can find someone less problematic?
That's sad if true. Is there someone else that can get the point across without even needing to utter a word?
Well shit, that sucks. Except that means Buck will align with them more ideologically, Buck is still the best person for the job ;)
