A small town in Alabama is working on a law that would send you to jail for six months or fine you $500 for peeing in the “wrong” bathroom.

The ordinance says,

Citizens have a right to quite solicitude and to be secure from embarrassment and unwanted intrusion into their privacy… single sex public facilities are places of increased venerability and present the potential for crimes against individuals utilizing those facilities which may include, but not limited to, voyeurism, exhibitionism, molestation, and assault and battery.

Makes no sense. Why aren’t they worried about pervs using the SAME gender’s bathroom? And for the 10,000th time, trans women are women, so it’s NOT men in the women’s room.

All of this seems like nonsense, but laws like this DO pose a threat to LGBT people, not just trans people.

Nevertheless, the bill passed the city council unanimously, so if you’re trans and living in Alabama and want to raise a fuss, why not show up to the next city council meeting, follow someone into the bathroom, and demanding to see some ID? (via Queerty)
