House Bill 752 criminalizes trans bathroom use in all private businesses with severe penalties. While passing it, Republicans argued trans people won't be harmed because they don't exist.
Exactly. And as we’ve already seen in some places, a passing trans person trying to use the “correct” bathroom according to law is more likely to get harassed or even assaulted as a result. These laws don’t fix an actual problem, they just create an environment where innocent people will be punished for the crime of existing in a public space.
To put it simply, because they don’t think trans people exist, a person using the wrong gendered bathroom is there to sexually assault people.
Because signs apparently stop rapists.
Which is weird, because people like them are statistically far more likely to commit sexual assault than trans people or drag Queens.
I guess it’s yet another example of right wing projection.
