More than that it's about forcing every trans person to be outed every time they show their id. If you're a trans person with passing privilege congrats now you have to think 'do I feel safe being openly trans here' every time you buy alcohol or nicotine.

Oh wow, that's a really good point that I'd missed. Thanks for helping me understand the full threat from this.

An even worst outcome is if they get arrested and get placed with the same population of sex that they were assigned at birth. In a system where SA is rampant, it would be torture.

This bill also apparently also rewards $1k to anyone who informs on a person who uses the wrong bathroom. On the third violation, that person gets fined up to $1k and 6 months prison, so the above scenario is entirely possible if not probable.
