While men, under this bill, could walk into a woman's public bathroom and claim to be women, they could do so anyway. Putting a wig and a dress on will already allow any man to walk into a woman's bathroom. This bill is just adding protection from discrimination for a specific population, which in no way allows a person to falsely state their gender identity. Just as a white person cannot claim to be black on a college application, it would still be illegal under this bill to falsely identify oneself as a member of the female gender when that person is in fact a male.
