The illustration is obviously an exaggerated image as all of it's type are. What the real problem is with ordinances that allow people to go into whatever bathroom they choose is the following scenario.

Quote:
 
Scenario:
Your 12 year old daughter goes to the bathroom at the restaurant by herself. Your daughter doesn't return for a bit and you go to check on her and hear her crying in a bathroom stall. She runs to you and says a man just touched her privates. You call the police and they come to investigate.
Just outside the bathroom is security cameras that records everyone coming and going from the Restrooms.
(Cameras aren't allowed inside the bathrooms) duh!!
Your daughter enters the bathroom and just behind her enters what according to the camera appears to be a man. The man is identified later in the investigation and is interviewed by police but says he is transgender and he was just using the bathroom and the little girl is lying.
If people of both sexes are able to enter the bathroom of their choice the little girls statement holds no credibility.
"Her word against his"
Now with the "Bathroom Law" in place, preventing a person of the opposite biological sex from entering the bathroom of their choice the little girls statement is credible and the offender has to explain why he entered a women's restroom when knowing it was against the law. This is maybe the evidence that helps convict the defendant or maybe the only evidence.
Now does this help the liberals understand!!!!!!
It's not about discrimination folks.


This is why most larger establishments have men's restrooms, women's restrooms, and one or two unisex restrooms. Everybody has a place to go already.
That's a pretty absurd scenario. So, what if the guy dresses up as a woman to do this? What then? And what does being able to charge him for illegally entering a bathroom not of his gender do to prove that he molested the young girl?

Look, criminals are going to be criminals. If someone wants to perform a certain crime badly enough, they will find a way. And making life just that much more difficult for transgender people, who will try to follow the law, isn't going to prevent that.

It is not an absurd scenario. If males are not permitted into the women's room then the guy has zero reason to ever be in there which means that it is not the word of an adult vs the word of a child. The scenario assumes that the perv just fondles the child in a way that does not leave physical evidence.

In that situation the laws that allow anyone to pick the bathroom of their whim would protect the pervert and the guy would probably walk free and sue the city for discrimination against his alphabet soup special rights. Whereas in a place like NC the pervert would be arrested for assaulting the girl based on the fact that he was in a room he had zero right to be in and therefor if he was in there then he was up to no good.
People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do them harm.

It's still the word of an adult versus the word of a child. Your hypothetical video shows him entering the bathroom. It does that if there is no law against his using the bathroom or if there is. If there is a law against his using the bathroom, the video doesn't prove that he molested the girl, only that he entered the bathroom. The same thing it would prove if there were no law against his using the bathroom.

It is always, barring there being other witnesses, going to come down to the defendant's word against the victim's. Making it illegal for him to be in the bathroom to begin with doesn't change that.
