But trans people have already been using the bathrooms they identify with for years and no one cared. This conversation is not only distracting from real issues it is ultimately pointless because barring people from using bathrooms is pretty much impossible to enforce.

But yeah express lane to chaos and lawlessness or something.

So why did they demand a law change that would allow any voyeur or exhibitionist into any bathroom or locker room with impunity?

One city passed an ordinance allowing it to show solidarity with LGBT people and the state responded with a law that banned them from using the bathroom of the gender they identify with but rather the gender on their birth certificate. It seems that this was never an issue before. I think trans people and their allies are reacting to the over reaction of the state.

My issue is even if that is the law how can you enforce it? Any attempt to determine if a person is trans or not risks invading that person's medical history. Not to mention there are many phases in transitioning, and it can take years in some cases. Who decides when it's appropriate to use which bathroom? Should people have to carry around a birth certificate to prove their gender to the bathroom police? Seems like a law that is almost impossible to enforce at best and an invasion of privacy at worst. It was never an issue before, why should it be one now? Especially when there is no clear solution, is this fight worth fighting?

The destruction of federalism will mean that in 20 years, there won't be 50 stars on our flag. There's only so much of being ordered around by someone thousands of miles away that a person can take, and right now we're taking an express train to that breaking point.
