I love that they claim that they're stopping women from being sexually assaulted by a man wearing a dress and going into the women's room... as if bathrooms are so closely monitored that a man in standard men's clothing couldn't just slip into one if he wanted. I mean he could wear a janitor uniform if he was worried about it.
Also, they always seem to forget that if you force trans people to use the restroom for their agab, you're also forcing trans men into women's restrooms. So now instead of having women they want to pretend are men in the women's restroom you now have actual men in the women's restroom.
(But also gendered restrooms are just dumb everyone would be so much better off without them)
It's about making being trans an obvious thing, making life for them more dangerous. It's not about anything else they say out loud.
If it’s a code brown and the mens/womens room is closed who wouldn’t use the other bathroom?
Code either. I've used the women's room when I've had to pee and couldn't hold it in.
I believe the civilian term is; "When you gotta go, you gotta go."
I wouldn't be surprised if it is worded in a way that would make it illegal for janitors who are men to be breaking the law if they enter a woman's bathroom.
