Someone answer me this: WHO THE HELL IS CHECKING A PERSON TO CONFIRM THEY ARE IN THE RIGHT REST ROOM

[LynneSin]

I don't know much about the rest of you but let me tell you about how I use a public bathroom.

I get in there as quickly as possible, do my business, wash my hands and leave. That's it.

I really don't have time to peak over the bathroom stall walls to see if someone in the ladies room with me is packing something extra down there in their pants. I don't even want to know who is in there although sometimes I do worry about the vicious smells and weird sounds that come out of a neighboring stall. Even then I still don't care who is in there.

Why does the GOP say they are the party of 'less government' and yet what to impose crazy laws like this on everyone?

[tanyev]

1. I think Larry Craig is available.

[LynneSin]

3. Didn't he die?

I thought he died last year

[tanyev]

8. Not according to Wikipedia.

You may have your hypocritical lying Republicans mixed up.

[blm]

27. LOL - You two cracked me up....

.

[WhiteTara]

16. no, I don't think so, he's living his life in

relative obscurity.

[jmowreader]

39. He's just dead to the Idaho Republican Party

[Jackie Wilson Said]

2. These are the new GOP jobs.

Bathroom checker: Duties include checking both genitals and birth certificates for any person entering any public or commercial bathroom

[LynneSin]

6. If it pays me $500k/year then I'll do it

But I'll probably just surf the internet on the job and ignore everyone.

[Glassunion]

4. I'm sure they'll find a way.

[Hoyt]

5. Probably no one, but it just feels good to some people to have another hate law on the books.

[Warpy]

10. Well, I'm sure there are a few of those fluttery examples of southern womanhood

who would run to the manager if she thought somebody in the bathroom was suspiciously tall or had a suspiciously hoarse voice or was suspiciously anything else to a fluttery southern lady (which means nearly all of us) to get the suspicious person hauled off in cuffs to the cop shop for a hoohah check. Bless their hearts.

[LynneSin]

18. And what would they do if a man showed up in their bathroom?

I've seen transgender men who look very masculine. I wouldn't have known unless they told me.

[Warpy]

23. I've known a few lesbians who would also send them fleeing and screaming for help.

However, even transitioning F to M would be spared the arrest if they had an old ID on them.

I grew to dislike the fluttery type intensely, bless their hearts.

[yardwork]

24. They already do.

[arcane1]

7. In one post, you put more thought into this subject than the actual people who voted for it n/t

[Shrike47]

9. What do they think women do in public restrooms, anyway? Disrobe by the sink?

For heaven's sake, women's restrooms have stalls with doors and women use them. There wouldn't be much to see in the women's rooms I've been in. Why would lustful men willing to lie about their sexuality hang out in the women's room in the first place? Is that what the legislators would do?

[etherealtruth]

12. Is that what the legislators would do?

YES

[yardwork]

25. Bingo.

[greymouse]

19. I've wondered about guys bathrooms

I mean, I have the impression some things are not as private as one would wish. I would think that would bother some guys.

[steve2470]

21. some bathrooms have partitions between urinals, some don't

If you're really that uncomfortable, you can wait for a stall....if you can wait lol

[prayin4rain]

11. I agree, it's just another way they've thought up to try to humiliate people. n/t

[M0rpheus]

13. Pretty certain Law enforcement has no idea either!

“Our staff, particularly our attorney’s office, is trying to figure out what it all means,” says Damien Graham, another spokesman for the Raleigh Police Department. “We haven’t mobilized our police force in any kind of different way. We’re still digesting.”

[Vinca]

14. Apparently there will soon be job openings for genitalia police.

(A branch of the GOP uterine police.) Dumbest laws ever.

[NightWatcher]

15. New jobs created: Federal Shitter Sitters.

We just all have to remember to carry our papers and birth certificate with us when we might have to go to the toilet.

[meow2u3]

17. DUzy!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

22. Be sure to bring an ultra-soft printing of the Constitution. nt

[GeorgeGist]

20. Private investigators.

[3catwoman3]

31. Make that...

...privates investigators.

[Kalidurga]

26. sometimes I do worry about the vicious smells and weird sounds that come out of a neighboring stall

LOL me too. I never worry about someone peeking in my stall. Although once a kid about 5 started crawling into a stall I was using. Needless to say I was a bit shocked and didn't bother to ask the kid his/her gender.

[ms liberty]

28. mr liberty and I went to see Garrison Kiellor last week

He opened with this very thing, and spoke for several minutes about it. He said that he was taught not to look at other people when you're in the restroom, you do your business, mind your own business, and leave. He of course said it in a more folksy and entertaining way.

[Chan790]

29. Penis inspectors.

All I know is if I'm ever in NC, I'm bringing a 15" black dildo and a packing harness. If they're gonna have bathroom spies to catch transgendered people, I'm going to give them something to talk the fuck about with their god-squad friends and SOs.

"How was your day at work, hon?"

"Disturbing. I saw a 6'4" 300lbs. half-Native American Muslim dude (because all beige, Semitic-looking people are "Muslims" as you well know) dressed in fairy-wings and a wrap-skirt with a 15" n****r cock."

"Oh my."

"Yeah, he caught me looking, pointed at it proudly, declared "dick transplant" and asked me if I wanted to take a tug."

"Jesus, hon...I'm sorry. Maybe we need to pray over this."

If the state of NC is going to empower assholes to violate my privacy in the bathroom and sexually-harass me, I'm going to make it as uncomfortable for them as I possibly can.

[3catwoman3]

34. Thanks for the best laugh...

...of the day.

[Warren DeMontague]

30. How much money do we spend a year on cops going into peoples houses to arrest them for smoking pot?

anything is possible.

[Blue Owl]

32. Some Sick Fuck Chaperone

n/t

[Arkana]

33. Hey, it'll create thousands of "Official Junk Inspector" jobs.

[Nye Bevan]

35. "You're in the wrong bathroom" is an inherently bigoted phrase.

It makes the implicit assumption that one can infer the gender someone identifies as from their outward appearance.

[LynneSin]

36. So if this 'woman' walks into the women's room I'm sure women in there will have a hissy fit

http://www.scoopnest.com/user/MetroUK/570580315770654720

This is the totally illogical thinking of these idiots. If the person in that photo walked into the woman's restroom to use it I'd wonder if the guy was lost trying to find the men's room not 'I wonder if this guy was born a girl' (which btw he was).

I've met transgender people who I had no fricking clue they were transgender until they said something like 'oh btw I'm transgender'. So how will the average bigoted asshole know if someone is transgender unless they take a peak at the privates.

This whole thing is stupid and I'm glad people are putting the hurt on North Carolina to force the change. Jim Crow didn't work the first time around, let's not bring it back for an encore!

[TexasBushwhacker]

37. And this "man" must use the men's room

Yeah, that will work out well.

[Rex]

38. Because they have been and always will be full of shit and without a moral compass.

[Demonaut]

40. we sound different when we pee

that's the only giveaway

[ladyVet]

41. They're only less government for their rich buddies and corporations.

The rest of us need to suffer under ridiculous laws concerning our persons -- and especially our private parts -- and who we may or may not fall in love with.

Personally, I don't want the job of checking groins at the restroom door. Maybe they can hire more TSA people, with those full-body scanners. Can't cost more than several billion dollars and lots of mental trauma, after all.

[winter is coming]

42. Well, it's true that my only interest in using a rest room is actually using it,

but there's a person in one of the choirs I sometimes sing with who's begun transitioning from male to female and has an obvious five o' clock shadow. I never give it a second thought when I see her in the ladies' room, but I'd be amazed if she doesn't get unfriendly looks (at a minimum) at other times.

[mmonk]

43. No one. Underlying the bill is discrimination

cases for public accommodations and employment discrimination cases can no longer be heard in state courts. The party discriminated against must go to federal court (NC).
