    Idk, Utah’s pretty decent. Its definitely modernizing sowly but still stumbles, like your example I didn’t know what you were talking about, so here’s the story for anyone else

    https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/utah-joins-10-states-regulating-bathroom-access-transgender-people-rcna136521

    Basically, people are supposed to use the “sex assigned at birth” in government/public school buildings.

    Shits fucking dumb, but I bet nobody is checking ids at bathrooms and nobody has to shit on the streets. I hope they revert this dumb law but I think I think honesty about situations is important.

      At best, anyone who voted for this bill is too dumb to be writing the rules for society, and at worst, it’s deliberate in its cruelty.

      So you’re probably right, and they won’t have an armed guard doing genitalia pat-downsvat the intrance, but what about the person who has worked somewhere for a few years and is just now transitioning? Now, at least 4-5 times a day, they’re reminded that they are less-than in the eyes of the government. If they try to use the restroom for their assigned sex, they end up looking like they are using the wrong restroom to anyone who doesn’t know their story and worried about a dangerous encounter with law enforcement. If they try to use the restroom for the gender they present as, they have to worry about anyone who does know their story forcing an encounter with law enforcement.

        100% think fuck the law, its an embarassment.

        Guess I just hate how exaggerated things get online nowadays. So much more productive to have an honest conversation rather than say " I guess that means trans people can shit wherever they want to in public" imo

      Utah sucks monkey shit. It’s the worst place in the world to live, and I’ve lived in third world countries with open trenches for sewers. Utah stinks to heaven above, and is the #1 spot for corruption and legislative stupidity in the entire world.

      Utah stinks, and so do all the baboons in charge here. And once I live, I will slam that door and NEVER look back, Utah can sink back into the sewage of salty brine it rose out of for all I care.
