Tennessee Legislature wants to charge trans ppl $50 to go to Washroom World

Tennessee Legislature introduces bill to fine people $50 for using the washroom that doesn't match up with their birth certificate

Sponsored by Sen. Bo Watson (R), the bill (SB 2282) would institute a $50 fine for anybody who does not use the public restroom or dressing room that matches the sex identification on his or her birth certificate:

And of course TN also DOESN'T allow gender changes on the birth certificate. So it's completely and utterly targeting trans ppl, not just ones who don't have GRS.

*sigh* WTF >:O

Of COURSE, I also wonder how this is going to be enforced. Besides, that I don't carry my birth certificate wherever I go, much less when I go to the washroom, is there going to be a guard in front of every washroom now? xD Will it be like the border? "Where are your papers"

And if we're being charged $50 to use the washrooms now... is there going to be a ticket booth? Will there be rides? Maybe we don't need a birth certificate but just a stamp on our hands?

Do senior citizens get a discount? Can you order tickets online? Do they take credit or debit? I don't carry $50 in cash around me at all times... movie theatres allow me to order online.

Can I use a student card for a cheaper fare? What about children? Parents regularly take children into washrooms with them even if they're the "wrong" gender... do children admit free? Or is the fine only $10 for them? Is there a family value pack? Can I get season tickets, so I don't have to pay up every time?

$50 is a lot to go to the washroom, for that I think we should at least demand that TN washrooms not just be the cleanest ever, but have up-to-date arcade games (no games that came out 3 years ago crap), rides and mascots! I want at least a couple good photos with Freshie the Urinal Cake.

I also want my mirrors to be HD with surround sound.

Otherwise, no, I'm not paying $50 to go to the washroom, and neither should anybody else. >:|

(srsly this is F-ed up... ppl are just gonna complain and call the cops at ANY "suspicious" person, and nobody carries their BCs with them -_- so do they take them in until they can check? this won't just affect trans ppl, this will just allow transphobes and assholes to harass ppl who are just trying to go to the washroom >:O )

Edit: My friend raises another unforeseen circumstance:

[20:08] Pazi: Note to self: go to Tennessee. Rack up 50 citations for this. Present birth certificate in court, walk away without paying a dime. Use pro bono legal service to countersue for wrongful prosecution. Profit?
