Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Neat! An additional line to get fondled in unnecessarily at the airport! Capitalism is innovating!

cops immediately sexually abuse cis people using the bathroom once the bill passes

conservatives blame it on “woke infiltration” after the department was “defunded”

regardless, no cop will be held accountable

Among those who testified at the hearing was Eva Chaves, the Salt Lake City Councilmember for District 4. She testified that the bill would have enormous implications for law enforcement. Addressing the bill, she stated, “A transgender person accessing a facility could be charged with criminal trespass and voyeurism even if the person has an amended birth certificate if they have not undergone a major medical procedure. This puts our officers in an untenable position of verifying sex changes.”

(emphasis mine)

Wondering how many of these officers are aware of the small but enthusiastic portion of the population who will be thrilled to have a legally permissible way to force a stranger to fondle them and why they aren't freaking out a little more. They really don't know what they're getting themselves into.

Even the cops don't want this.

So, is this going to lead to attractive females being accused more often than unattractive ones?

Penis, vaginas, and anything inbetween are the new terrorist.
