Why would anyone care where people go the bathroom? Where do you think transsexuals have been going all these years? What nonsense.
They have a whole ~~fantasy~~ conspiracy they've cooked up where we're sneaking in to women's restrooms to do human trafficking and dark web revenge porn and shit.
I think a bigger concern are regular men using this as an excuse to creep on women in bathrooms.
At least that's what I hear women saying. They're afraid of men using their restrooms.
Not saying you haven't, but I've never once heard a woman afraid of men creeping on women in the bathroom. But I'm curious, aside from someone outside the bathroom doors either checking genitals or birth certificates, how exactly would enforcement of a bathroom bill work?
Cis woman here, I not only have never been afraid of the possibility that a man might enter the woman's bathroom, if I ever encountered a man in the woman's bathroom I'd just assume they accidentally went in the wrong one or maybe it was a dad taking his daughter in or something similarly innocuous.
I really hope all trans women can feel safe one day entering the women's room (and trans men with the men's room) so they can use it in peace. Bathroom policers can fuck all the way off.
