The Bathroom Bill: When Legislation Goes Too Far

The bill defines gender identity or expression as "a person's gender related identity, appearance or behavior, whether or not that gender related identity, appearance or behavior is different from that traditionally associated with the person's physiology or assigned sex at birth. . . "

The definition is subjective, is based upon personal beliefs, and does not require any long standing pattern of behavior or clinical diagnosis.  Anyone, therefore, can assert protections under this law at any time.  As a result, police or employers will have a difficult time addressing situations in bathrooms or locker rooms because if they attempt to remove or even question someone in these private places, they could be subject to a discrimination claim.

This bill is very troubling to say the least.  It awaits action in the Senate, and I will continue to advocate for this longstanding exemption for private places.  To not do so poses an unnecessary public safety risk, or at the very least, can make visits to the restroom or locker rooms a bit uncomfortable.  Common sense needs to prevail.

they are breeding again  0___0

.... this seems like something they'd conjured up for those that don't pass and make other small minded people feel uncomfortable. You can't police someone who looks the part so who does that leave? Why don't they just say it, saayy ittt....... just admit you don't feel comfortable around people that present as a mix between male and female. It scares you.... your little brains can't handle it because you've all convinced one another that people that present like that are sickos etc. *facepalm*.

...and tomorrow they will breed again :/
