"Bearded, burly" trans men enter women's facilities to show "absurdity" of bathroom bans

The manager of the Long Branch Lagoon Water Park in Dodge City, Kansas reportedly screamed and rushed children out of the women's restroom and changing area on August 8 after three self-described "bearded, burly" transgender men wearing yellow "Compliance Crew" t-shirts followed state law and used the municipal facilities matching the sex listed on their birth certificates, trans journalist S. Baum reported.

The men neither removed their clothes nor made any crass comments while in the facility, but they had to provide police "uncomfortable descriptions" about their bodies and genitals in order to avoid arrest. The three are part of an activist group that has been entering girls' and women's facilities elsewhere in the state (as required by law) to protest the absurdity of Kansas' transphobic bathroom ban. The police in this incident had neither heard of the ban's passage last February nor their expectation to enforce it.

"Supporters of S.B. 244, including Attorney General Kris Kobach and Senate Majority Leader Ty Masterson, billed it as a way to keep men out of women's spaces; it clearly requires some men to enter women's spaces," said the activist group, KS SB244 Compliance Crew, in a press release.

"Segregating people by suspected genitalia does nothing to improve public safety; it does quite the opposite by opening Kansans up to sexual harassment and discrimination. At no point should anyone be asking anyone else what genitals they have in public," the release added.

I've said in another thread that it's unfair to ask trans men to do this to "prove a point"; (we don't ask trans women to use the mens room to prove the exact same point), but hats off to these gentlemen.👍🏼

I love it!

Malicious Compliance at its finest.
I love those guys.

I think the author of the article (not @Jessica_Rose) should proofread their writing a little better to prevent confusion.

No one should have their genitals out in public!

I believe what the author meant was:

Can you imagine the cops asking about their junk and the guys pulling out their packers and handing them to them?
