I wonder how they are planning to keep the transfolk from harm, IF they are , at all. How are they proposing to deal with all the 'unlawful arrest' lawsuits that are sure to be filed? I know, that IF I obey this law, and I am harrassed when in the men's bathroom, I will do my level best to hurt the person responsible. I will also file a claim for sexual harrassment.

The more important question is how are they going to verify it. Seriously. Are they going to check every person that goes into the washroom? I'd love to see how long the law would last if a cis-gendered woman was asked to show her genitals to verify that she is a woman (say if she is naturally more "masculine" in features).
