Pointless "Bathroom Safety" Laws

It should be noted that there have been more US Senators arrested for misconduct in bathrooms than there have been trans people arrested for same. (Why don't the Republicans warn us of the terrible threat posed by US Senators, and do something about it?)

The GOP on Safety: a brief history Part 1: Me: We need reasonable gun laws. GOP: It's already illegal to shoot people. GOP: [fights all attempts at gun regulation of any kind] Part 2: GOP: We need to protect people in bathrooms against those wicked transies! Me: It's already illegal to harass in the loo. GOP: [makes law anyway] — adapted from a Tweet by Josie Brenda
