Transgender woman defies Wyoming's new bathroom bill with stunt inside state's capitol building
Daily Mail UK ^ | July 2, 2025 | Melissa Koenig

A transgender woman defiantly violated a newly-implemented bathroom law in Wyoming - and was left stunned when nothing happened.

Rihanna Kelver, 27, had been planning for months to use the women's restroom at the Wyoming State Capitol in protest of a new law that restricts people to the bathroom corresponding with their sex in public buildings.

She explained to the Laramie Reporter that she saw her use of the women's bathroom at the state capitol - right next to the governor's office - as 'a pretty simple and creative direct action to either A) force litigation that could help us dismantle this policy or B) at least force the message that the policy is kind of worthless.'

Kelver then traveled to Cheyenne on Tuesday, when the law went into effect, for her act of protest.

'I do not inherently believe in the state's interpretation of my identity,' she told supporters before walking into the women's room. 'Nor will I willfully be silent in the enforcement of where and how I can exist in public and who I am.'

By 12.30pm, Kelver marched into the capitol and approached a Wyoming Highway Patrol officer stationed at a desk near the restrooms and announced her intention to use the bathroom, Cowboy State Daily reports.

The officer did not have any issue with that, and Kelver then entered the women's room next to Gov. Mark Gordon's Office.

Moments later, she exited the building via the front entrance without any issue - despite telling her supporters there was a chance she would be arrested.

He wants others to respect his/her/its civil rights, while simultaneously not respecting anyone else’s civil rights.

How special

I’m so very sorry for your difficulties. There isn’t much worse in life that problems like that with one’s child. We have a ton of problems with our son but not in the same category, so I understand the anguish.

Some very dear friends of ours have a beautiful daughter who first decided she was lesbian. Her “marriage” fell apart and her “mate” departed. She then decided she was trans and is now embarking on that journey. Life sure does throw you totally unexpected curveballs.

"He wants others to respect his/her/its civil rights, while simultaneously not respecting anyone else’s civil rights."

That sums it up.

He/She/It needs to make up some signs and get his/her/its buddies/sistas/things to carry them around the capital.

“What if they threw a toilet protest and nobody gave a crap?”

A 50 mile one way trip and months of planning wasted because he didn't get the attention he sought . . . only a sympathetic news "reporter" took the bait.

And the only message relayed was how starved for attention they are!

Law enforcement needs to figure out how to deal with these “protestors” pronto. There will be a lot of transgender “activists” who intentionally violate the law. Will law enforcement ignore them? If so, what’s the point of the law? Will law enforcement arrest them? That will give the activists a platform but not much punishment likely will come out of it. The result would be to enhance the publicity for the activists with no real deterrent effect.

Imagine this being a focus in your life. A goal. This guy is a real loser. He just wants lots of attention.

Planning for months sounds a tad like conspiracy if any one else urged HIM on.

Headline broken.

“MAN violates women’s bathroom space in defiance of Wyoming Legislature’s attempt to protect women.”

There. I tried fixing it.

SOMEone needs to fix this sh!t.

Not enough wall-to-wall counseling these days.

Thanks for your concern. I have been praying for him to have an encounter with Christ that would create a change in him. Unfortunately, he’s gotten into an Episcopalian church, which doesn’t hold to Biblical doctrine regarding this subject. I’m not saying that ALL Episcopalian churches are that way, but the one he’s attending does NOT.

I imagine if this happened a couple of generations ago this creature would be rightfully locked up in a mental institution for the rest of its life.

That it is freely roaming amongst us defying societal norms shows how far our civilization has been corrupted.

Rush used to make reference to an interesting what-if.

A screening for homo gene will end abortion immediately. Now I am wondering what if a transvesite gene is identified? Same axiom hold for 1%ers.

Arrest her/him/it and examine sexual organs. If they don’t comply with person’s claimed sex, ‘Readjust’ them to comply.
