In a rapid legislative progression, the Utah House of Representatives has passed HB 257, a contentious bill that, if signed into law by Republican Gov. Spencer Cox, would become the first anti-LGBTQ+ bathroom ban of the year. The bill aims to stop transgender students from using restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity, as well as restrict access to changing rooms in government-owned or operated facilities for transgender people of all ages.
Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson expressed her strong opposition to the bill in a statement.
“This bill is an invasion of the privacy of Utahns,” Robinson said. “No student should be denied access to the bathroom that aligns with who they are. No one should fear harassment in the most private of settings. Period.” Robinson also highlighted the alarming trend of similar bathroom bans being introduced across the United States, reminiscent of North Carolina’s infamous HB2.

What if it terrorizes transgender people so much that they avoid going to Utah? I had to change planes in SLC going from Boston to Anchorage! What if I had been transgender had had to pee?
Article: “who they are”
Lol.
Who are they?
Terrifying? Quick! Someone get the fainting couch for poor Christopher Wiggins.
Who? More like WHAT are they.
Your post reminded me sentences that I had not heard in 40 years:
Bill had had had where Jerry had had had had. Had had had been correct.
“Terrifying” is MEN in the Girl’s Room.
A bill that forbids mentally ill males from using the restroom and locker room with your female kin.
Sounds good.
Exactly, Kelley.
This law codifies that a person shall use the bathroom that aligns with their biology, i.e, SCIENCE.
Forcing another person to affirmatively participate in your delusion will not cure your mental illness.
Exactly.
What a vile, disgusting human. She is the first black, queer woman to lead HRC.

In general, I think the public knows the reality of this cross-dresser stuff but as more stories get out about the opportunistic and even predatory nature of it, from guys getting to break records in female sports to the very revealing statistics coming out about how criminals are suddenly becoming trans just before sentencing for their prison time, then it is going to become almost impossible to maintain this fantasy.
Good for Utah, now on to getting Romney to transition to being a conservative.
OMG!!! How terrifying huh? 😆😆😆
Because saying “what they think they are” crushes the whole argument.
Simple solution to take gender confusion out of the restroom debate.
Replace Men/Women restroom designations with Penis/No Penis signs.
How about an ample supply of butt hurt cream, to go with it.
Funny how its not an invasion of privacy of everyone else when mentally ill men and women decide to use the wrong bathrooms.
They are just itching to foment revolt from normal people. They really are.
