Summary
Marcy Rheintgen, a 20-year-old transgender college student, was arrested at the Florida State Capitol after intentionally entering a women’s restroom in protest of the state’s transgender bathroom law.
Civil rights lawyers say it is the first known arrest under such laws in any U.S. state.
Rheintgen faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge and could face up to 60 days in jail.
Florida is one of only two states to criminalize such acts.
What you people fail to realize is that this will fix the economy, once all trans people are in jail everything is going to be fucking dandy, no more overpriced eggs, no more wagestealing, no more corruption…
Bathrooms just need to be single person use. Then neither side could complain. Who wants to go to the bathroom with other people anyway?
Seriously this. I’ve been to other places that have it figured out (Sweden in my case) and it is better in every possible way.
Well, unless you are a landlord who wants the up-front construction costs of the restrooms to be as cheap as possible regardless of how it will affect the decades of use. Or if you live in a country with no healthcare and can’t let people have privacy in the restroom because you’re afraid they’ll OD in there.
I’m here, sweden is better in literally every possible way.
Watching the US from this vantage point is like watching 50 great whites start tearing into each other because someone threw blood in the water.
Or if you live in a country with no healthcare and can’t let people have privacy in the restroom because you’re afraid they’ll OD in there.
I don’t even want to look that up. It sounds so real it could be.
What I had in mind while making that comment was past stories of establishments putting blue light bulbs in their bathrooms to make it harder to find veins. :/

Wow, I have never heard of that, but interesting idea!
not every location is capable of supporting single user bathrooms. im pretty pro-unisex bathroom anyway
Um, you just add a door to the bathroom if it doesn’t have one. Then you put a lock on it, and a new sign. Very easy to do.
You know what is so ironic about this? Right wing jackasses were talking about bring oppressed by transpeople and how they would be arrested and jailed for pronoun errors, but in all the years of the laws being in effect there was not a single arrest of such a thing.
But now within barely a few months of their shit being in power they actually do all the shit they accused others of wanting to do. It really was projection all along.
Land of the free eh?
Conservative bitches are jealous that Marcy is hotter than all of them.
You know they have no actual reason for this law aside from intimidation, threat, and leverage for the weak minds who need something to be mad at.
If anyone really cared, they would just make the hand-washing area open, and private stalls for people to do their business. No need to have Mens/Womens. Many places I have been to do this, and it just works.
But then again, there really is not a problem to solve, and the “solution” is removing trans people from society and has nothing to do with bathrooms.
Considering the other places with bathroom bills had cis women attacked by cops…
Honestly I hope they can figure something out for her, Marcy will not survive 60 days in prison
She should have pissed on their capitol’s floor.
