https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/new-hampshire-bill-would-create-first>One defining feature of the modern anti-transgender panic has been the fixation on bathrooms. While early efforts in 2016 were widely rebuked and ultimately failed, the last four years have seen several states enact new versions of bathroom bans. Most have targeted public schools, but legislators have increasingly pushed further—extending restrictions to colleges and universities, publicly owned buildings, even airports. Now, New Hampshire Republican lawmakers are taking the cruelty a step further: their latest proposal would apply to private businesses that offer public restrooms, turning the simple act of a transgender person using the bathroom into potential “willful trespass.”>The bill, HB1442, at first glance resembles measures enacted in states like Texas, South Dakota, and Wyoming. It bars transgender people from using bathrooms that match their gender identity in government-run buildings, including prisons, schools, and municipal facilities such as public restrooms and highway rest stops. But where most states enforce these laws through civil penalties against the government institutions themselves—allowing cities or schools to be sued—New Hampshire’s proposal goes further by targeting the transgender person themselves. It creates a separate trespass statute tied specifically to bathroom use, mirroring Florida’s approach, which likewise imposes criminal penalties on transgender people for entering the “wrong” bathroom.>Importantly, the new violation applies only to transgender women—not transgender men. In debates over restroom access, Republicans have often grown visibly uncomfortable when confronted with the reality that many trans men present with traditionally masculine features, including beards and attire; trans men have repeatedly pointed out in hearings that forcing them into women’s restrooms would be both unsafe and absurd.

This makes me so smoking mad.
>>41962322Trans people are discovering what it feels like to be a gun owner. Every legislative session assholes submit legislation to ban shit hopping eventually it will get through.
>>41962322I fucking hate these """libertarian""" masshole refugees ruining the state so muchnone of these people actually give a shit about freedom they're all just lying
>>41963662A lot of us are gun owners and this similarity isn't lost on us. We do not like the government
>>41963821Oh I am right there with you. I just can't summon the panic because I have watched this for so many years with gun bans.
>>41963662>gun bansFor fuck's sake guns should not be in every supermarket some of you are clearly too retarded to use them
>>41962322You can live free or die just not in New Hampshire
>>41963867anon this isnt the same thing, if anyting its more like being required to prove you dont own a gun to use facilities
>>41962322>the new violation applies only to transgender women—not transgender men.When will trans women stop erasing trans men?
>>41965769No. Show a trans women stats about violence that trans people experience and she will do everything to deny trans men and non-binary afab experiences
>>41966113Yeah, I'm like so tired of these amab "women" erasing us, why are they even upset about using the men's room? God I wish I was a dick girl tranny, then I could trick men into going on dates with me, and call them gay when I whip out my cock, but instead I had to have a rape hole.
>>41966155kek
>>41966155Why are you calling them amab you piece of shit
>>41962615Where are all the trans men in cis men’s sports leagues?
>>41966113I am not trying to erase the fact trans men experience a lot of violence. That said I think when dealing with groups as marginalised as trans people, statistics on crime fail to really be meaningful metrics of anything. There is just no way I have ever seen to ensure that such data is not reflective of biases in reporting, resulting from that marginalisation, vs an accurate reflection of what is happening in reality. For example a common claim is that trans men experience more violence than trans women - how can you meaningfully measure this sort of thing in a situation where both groups have less access to fair reporting of crime they experience?
>>41966178You are absolutely precisely correct. It should be “mab” - male at birth.

If this law passes i can see Massachusetts residents trolling their less prolific neighbors by going to the special economic zones of Nashua and Rockingham Plaza, gendering in the bathroom, and then jumping back over the border.
