The legislation takes aim directly at trans individuals using the restroom or locker rooms, threatening those who “knowingly” and “willfully” enter facilities designated for the “opposite biological sex” with prison time. A first offense would count as a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. Those caught using the bathroom in repeated offenses, however, could be convicted as felons and face up to five years in prison.
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.
You are loved. You are fine the way you are. The world has a place for you. You are not alone.
I know Idaho is bleak right now but there are many areas much more accepting than Idaho.
It’s hard but I strongly encourage moving somewhere more blue. As someone that lives in a blue stronghold the cults is much more accepting than these places.
Boise isn’t down for the count yet. Last year when the state started coming after Pride flags on government property the Mayor and City Council adopted the Pride flag as our city flag. The state legislature has been trying to figure out how to override that ever since. We ran the Hammerskins out of town when they tried to have a music festival, we’ve put MAGAt business owners out of business, we’ve got a lot of teachers and librarians operating malicious compliance to the anti-woke mandates, and I’ve seen more than a few bigots get their teeth knocked out and heads stomped. They might have taken over our state but they haven’t taken over our city.
Moscow Idaho is also still holding out for a bit longer. Lots of trans people going there as a stepping stone to get to Seattle, it’s got Inland Oasis running pride and drag events and doing a lot of work making queer spaces. It is currently being literally invaded by christo fascists so I worry it’s a matter of time but for now at least it’s still a decent place (especially compared to most other parts of Idaho though I know that bar is so low you’d need a shovel to find it). I wish Boise all the best in their resistance

Give the kid a rest, will ya? He’s already had it up to his neck in gun violence.
Honestly if there were a law where they had to, and it wasn’t a travel inconvenience, I’d support the bill.
What the actual fucking fuck? Is it better to piss in the streets? Shit their pants on a crowded bus?
Ah, those will be felonies too. The point is to make it illegal to exist if you’re trans. And the point of that is cruelty, an insatiable need that Republicans have.
In future MAGAmeriKKKa, we will be a nation of laws, and we will have many more laws than today, and they will be punished harshly. Those who violate the law will be incarcerated in one of the detainment centers being constructed at this moment. Then they will be leased out to corporations as Federal 13th Amendment work Slaves.
Careful. Idaho Republicans could be into it.
So this is obviously stupid. I use the other gender bathroom when one bathroom is in use and I really have to go. Is that really something that should cause jail time? Really?
Clearly, this is the most important issue impacting your typical working American family today.
Megyn Kelly sat there and told Bill Maher that trans was maybe her most important issue before the election in 2024. I mean, what the actual fuck?
These people are fucking crazy.
Megyn Kelly is a monster. She is working really hard to be Laura Ingraham, a vile thing.
I have this nice blue piece of plastic that allows me to go in whichever bathroom I please under federal law in statesia, and bring a friend of any gender I choose. I am curious how that will work with Idaho’s law, and willing to risk a felony for it if someone will pay transport and coffee
What’s this blue piece of plastic that you possess?!
Some gendered bathrooms are for one person at a time. I’ve never understood that…there’s not even a rapey trans boogeyman angle there.
I got the restrooms at a previous job changed to employee and customer instead of gendered. They were single occupancy already and my suggestion was passed unanimously by my coworkers.
The Republicans have distilled their hatred to be only for “biological sex” and included a specific exemption for that in the text of the bill.
Are you a republican woman with broad shoulders, a big nose, or a square jaw. Congrats, the Karens are now going to ask the cops to look at your junk.
those were the kerens
Now the hot Karens are going to want to see what the MTG-look’s Karens are packing.
I use a unisex bathroom in Austin that had urinals and stalls. I felt like such a badass when I kept my composition while making a peepee while three women passed behind me going in and out of the bathroom.
And when I went to wash my hands, no one looked at each other or said hi or anything. The way it should be in a bathroom. Quit talking to me while I’m trying to not pee on the floor, guys!
The coolest bathroom experience I have ever had was when I attended my sister’s graduation ceremony from university.
There was a white tie dinner party after the ceremony, and every one was dressed up, it was a super happy and friendly atmosphere, full of beautiful men and women.
Anyway, I had to go to the toilet, so I found the men’s room and opened the door…
…and immediately got confused…
…the first thing I saw was a beautiful woman in a crowd of other beautiful men and women!
The party kept going!
And the most remarkable thing was that the wall between the women’s and men’s rooms wasn’t there.
Instead there was a really cool central sink and booths on either side.
It was brilliant!
Our country sent a cruise missile into a school full of children last week.
We allow our pet dogs to piss anywhere. Yet if you can’t find a “public” bathroom, or find some business to buy a pack of gum for 25c, in order to be a customer to use their restroom, and you piss in an alley around the corner, you face charges like indecent exposure. All because you had to do some very basic natural function but society had placed obstacles and then labels you a criminal. Yet somehow everyone is so goddamn concerned over which bathroom you use.
The U.S. constitution is so old that the writers didn’t see it being a problem (presumably) to not have an explicit right to bodily autonomy.
didn’t see it being a problem (presumably) to not have an explicit right to bodily autonomy.
I mean, the bulk of them did own other human beings as property…
Where can I place bets on when a place has a broken men’s or women’s toilet and someone gets arrested for using the only functioning option.
If they’re a straight, white, cisgender, Christian, Republican man with money, it will be allowed to slide. Everyone else, watch out.
Deviance theory also suggests its progressive. Like a circle that’s ever shrinking.
Laws are always selectively enforced, actually enforcing the law equally is basically an act of rebellion
The Republicans have distilled their hatred to be only for “biological sex” and included a specific exemption for that in the text of the bill.
Someone will still get arrested for that though.
There was a situation like that at a local state beach park and they had some park ranger stand at the door just tell men they would have to wait as the women’s room was being repaired and sanitized and … ladies first. They did not investigate anyone’s junk… just went by what bathing suits people were wearing.
The Nazi state
One of many.
Meanwhile, Texas is busy sentencing people of supporting terrorism because they are related to antifa. Being a pedophile with aspirations to crown himself a king, straight to the White House with the sledgehammer to knock it down.
Antifa? Like how would they even know? I mean, it is not like people carry antifa membership cards. I think they made it up.
Remember folks, this is for the sake of Protecting Children, from the party that best knows how to do so.
…Right?
My home state made the news again! What do we have today? Another way for me to be a felon by existing where I grew up? Neat I love that! Keeping it classy Idaho, as always.
These sad pathetic evil bastards need to be taken outside and shot. To intentionally create these laws out of nothing but spite. People, real human beings may lose thier lives and families. Disgusting
Republicans just want to make sure that when they go to the bathroom, they will have proper gay sex. As real men do. /s
