Re: “Tennessee Republicans Try to Kick Transgender People Out of Public Restrooms”

Alex,

Where I live, a drag queen would use the mens bathroom since they identify as a male and live their everyday life as a male. A transsexual is not a drag queen and there is quite a large difference. I'm sure a lot of people appreciate you writing to your Senator and I think its wonderful that you did, but making trans people look like caricatures of women might be more detrimental than helpful.

That said, this new law is so disturbing I thought it was a joke at first. I feel for my friends in TN. This shouldn't even be something people consider. While I can see where they might try to say, "This law would help prevent rape in the bathrooms by making it a crime just to be in the wrong one." It won't. People being vigilant and aware of their surroundings will help prevent rape. What happens when some poor woman who is less than feminine comes into the women's restroom and doesn't have her birth certificate? Will she be arrested and slapped with a fine? And let's not even get started on what happens if people DO start carrying around their birth certificates for proof and people lose them somewhere. Surges in identity theft, etc, etc. The damage this law could cause if it went into effect far outweigh the so-called benefits.
