There have beeb several arrests of men claiming to be transgender that were caught filming women.
Let me know how you feel when it happens to your wife, daughter or grand daughter.
I hope these cities are suited into oblivion the it happens in their city.
Filming in a bathroom is illegal for everyone. Not sure why you think this law makes it easier. Hell, NC just passed a law that made it easier. I'll demonstrate.
*walks into ladies room*
"Hi, sorry, born a woman. Can I watch you pee?"
Also, question:
Have you ever BEEN inside a woman's bathroom? Ever peeked in one when no one was there?
Well I have and let me tell you, there's nothing but stalls and toilets. No urinals. In fact, unless a woman undresses by the sink, they aren't going to show anything they won't show when they walk out the door so, pray tell, what were these horrible men filming?
They are filming from under and over the stall walls.
Now tell me how this protects women in changing rooms and locker rooms.
So the gender of the person is irrelevant as they're hidden anyway. Gotcha.
As for locker rooms, well, what's stopping a man from walking in now?
What's stopping a woman from walking in and taking pictures/video?
Finally:
Same point as before, the North Carolina law requiring people to use their birth gender's "room" means that any man can walk into a woman's bathroom without even changing clothing.
I think the problem here is that you are assuming that it's easy for a man to pretend to gender identify as a woman. Can they dress up? Sure but they could do that before so it's not really anything different.
But I don't think transgender people make a habit of walking into a bathroom or locker room they can't pass in. So a transman won't go into the men's locker room if they still have their breasts or they look/sound like a woman. But they would likely go into the woman's locker room just to avoid the stares.
Plus, the point is to avoid it being illegal if said trans is caught in the "wrong" room. Filming is still very much illegal regardless of gender.
