Oooh! Oooh! I remember this one!
Next, businesses will have to create a separate restroom that says "TRANS ONLY" so things can be "separate but equal"...

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
They won't do that because they would be acknowledging the existence of transpeople.
And giving them no where to feel comfortable in public is the entire point. Giving them their own washroom would be a short step in the right direction from the depraved place we're in.
Yeah, Jim Crow was a compromise already. I think benchs, restaurant tables, bathrooms were non-existent generally for African Americans in the South.
Do they include a definition of “biological sex”? And of how that’s going to be determined?
Of course not. They have no fucking clue what they’re talking about. They just want to hurt people
Man, I did not know Idaho was so dominated by lunatics.
As a Canadian, I could have guessed... There's a sort of obvious pattern that's emerged over the last couple of decades involving the less populated areas being the most deathly afraid of the world at large, thanks in large part to the sample biases incepted through social media.
I'm in a neighboring state to Idaho - it's a pretty fucked up place tbh.
It’ll be interesting to see how this aligns with the Full Faith and Credit clause for someone who updates their birth certificate from another state that allows for that then uses the bathroom that aligns with said certificate.
Only if the bill mentions birth certificate as the source for one's "biological sex" and not something about genotype or phenotype at birth (both of which have different issues).
I guess the right response to this is to get the absolute manliest-looking trans men to Idaho to use the public ladies' room in places frequented by lots of the most fragile GOP-types. Monkey's paw that shitstain of a bill.
Well hey, at least they're focusing on everyday issues that affect the lives of every American.
Gendered bathrooms should be banned. Things being gender-exclusive should generally be illegal (regarded as bigotry/hate).
JUST PUT REAL WALLS INSTEAD OF STALLS
I would agree, but...the line for the woman's bathroom is so long...as long as there's the same number of stalls and urinals as there would be if they were separated, I definitely support non-gendered!
yes
obviously there would be the same number overall
availability would actually be higher as there would be twice as many available to the individual
I can see places cheaping out and just having one bathroom for both that's the size of just one of them, but it would be a small price to pay to get rid of this terrorizing of trans people...or just anyone who doesn't appear to fit into specific gender roles.
Is this true?
They can't use public bathrooms at all?
In practice, no. Think about the actual mechanics of this.
Why haven't we adopted gender neutral bathrooms on a global scale?
Shut the fuck up, regard. If we did that how the hell would we be able to attack this easy target of vulnerable people?!
The real reason? Because men can't control themselves and women have reasons to fear for their safety in closed spaces with them.
Men are entirely capable of controlling themselves, I can attest to that personally.
Your’s isn’t an argument, it’s the confession of a predator.
There are gender neutral bathrooms all over the place.
It's a sexist idea that men can't control themselves.
Thankfully, none of us can afford the gas to drive to a public restroom anyway! /s
Wasn't there an executive order that said all people must use women's bathrooms?
Wonder how long until someone tries to install AI gender detectors in restrooms.
Cheaper to use volunteers. Every Incel in Idaho will line up to be the Vulva Inspector.
Problem is, they've never actually seen one.
AKA live cams that feed into some company's remote servers
They could just install those tiny circular toilet seats, and measure whose weight is shifted farther back to prevent dong/seat contact.
The jokes on them! Dong/seat contact is my kink.
