This law is dumb in so many levels. I understand what they are trying to do, but I don't think many women will more be comfortable sharing a restroom with a trans man than with a trans woman.

 

This law is sound. The goal isn't the law itself at face value - the goal is to stigmatize and ostracize transgender individuals to the point where they go back in the closet. The real problem is that transgender people are now comfortable enough being transgender in public -  50 years ago no way they would have dared to fight a law, let alone go outside looking anything but their sex. This law was just one step to claw our way back to historical normalacy.

^nornalcy, not nornalacy.

 

anyways, what's historical normalcy in your eyes? It could potentially be anything.

 

Also, you can't always refer to the law as a flawless piece of work. back then people didn't do many things that would get them in trouble. Whether if you respect the concept of transgenderism or not, you can't just refer to the past. we have passed a lot of stupid laws(just look at the Alien and Seditions act passed by John Adams).
