The bill, which passed the House and is poised to pass the Senate, imposes a statewide bathroom ban as strict as the state’s abortion law. It's the harshest anti-trans bill ever proposed.
It's mind boggling to me that a cabal of rich men can get away with a sex trafficking ring for years, but they want to punish a Trans person for using a bathroom.

I'd push back on one point or perhaps more on how a point is expressed. I'd say Idaho doesn't want to run trans folks out of the state. They're quite willing for you to be there - so long as you remain completely invisible.
So long as they can tell themselves you don't exist.
So long as they can smugly declare "there ain't none of that stuff here, not like [insert preferred locale for sneers]."
So long as you commit emotional suicide and live so locked in the closet that you can't see the handle.
There was a time, not that long ago in historical terms, when being gay or lesbian was "the love that dare not say its name." Now we might say the goal here is "the self that dare not admit it breathes."
I know it's small comfort, but know both that you are not alone and that the bigots and haters are so intent on their attacks because they know - they can't not know - that history says they are losing and, like King Canute in the popular version of the story, it will wash over them.
In the meantime, keep fighting and take care of yourself whatever way seems best to you.
The articles word this against Trans people but the law doesn’t. If enough people follow the law exactly as written at least a few parents taking their children to restrooms should be jailed too.
If private businesses make their restrooms unisex (usable by anyone), they can sidestep this BS. Every small business I've worked for had one restroom for all staff and customers. (Burger drive-in, radio station, Karate school, salons, chiropractor, Curves gym, health food store, tutoring center)
I'm confused. I looked at some of the laws passed or may be passed in the future. In some, the transgender person would have to use the bathroom of their assigned sex at birth. But others, seem to say that a transgender person has no place to pee at all. That can't be correct, right? I assume I'm misreading them, since what are we supposed to do, pee in someone's empty office?
Which ones say that? I’ve read all of the ones that have passed and none exclude trans people from both bathrooms. They usually require trans people to use the bathrooms that correspond to their sex assigned at birth, and in some cases, if (this is usually an exception made for school bans) a student is afraid of harassment they need to use the gender-neutral or faculty bathroom.
I know that all of this nonsense is mostly against trans women - patriarchy and misogyny and all. But the GOP has not thought about how their wives and daughters are going to feel with trans men in their bathrooms. I already got smacked once by a cis-woman wielding a heavy purse. I hate going to Texas, because peeing there is so dangerous. Luckily, most doctors will protect you in their clinics and let you pee safely - even if it's at Texas Tech University. Most doctors hate the stupid law and will protect you.
I am so sorry. Luckily I rarely have to go to Texas; just to see doctors. In New Mexico we are protected from most forms of persecution. If I lived in Texas, I don't know what I would do. 😭
I’m in deep blue St. Louis and I still have issues using the women’s bathroom. So, I taken to wear diapers in public to avoid the whole bathroom thing.
If only they worked this hard in things that would actually benefit people.
Well, they could, but their solutions to everything are terrible and they need to distract from that…
They do! Gender-affirming care actually benefits people, and they work hard on banning it!

This!
This is horrible. Full on Nazi. I feel really bad for anyone in Idaho right now. My thoughts are with you. 🫂
I do love how much overreach small government Republicans push for.
What vile humans in maga. Vile.

Malicious and cruel legislation by the GOP.

It's ironic because the people who are doing the sexual harassment are not even transgender. I mean look at president pedophile.

I think it was Texas?

One of the reasons I wear diapers when I go out.
