Hrmm.... I suspect this was for a cis-gendered individual. If it was for a trans-man, now that would be impressive. But likely still well out of the financial reach of most trans-men.

I can't find a specific link for the law that some states want to pass for transfolks to use the bathroom of the gender they were born as!
WTF is up with this? Any comments?

I looked on that site but didn't find what I was looking for.
But it is a bill they are trying to pass in Florida regarding transfolks using the bathroom, I should have been more specific in my last post, if I find it, I will post it.

I'm hoping such rumblings do not head to Oklahoma or Texas.

I know that I am going to ignore that law, if it passes, and to hell with them. If I go to jail, I might well ask the judge why the hell isn't HE/SHE in jail, along with me, since that is a very unjust law.

I hope that law doesn't make it's way to Texas, but then again I would defy it anyways. When I have to go, I have to go.

Feds Say Georgia's Treatment of Transgender Prisoners Is Unconstitutional
—By Samantha Michaels| Fri Apr. 3, 2015 4:36 PM EDT For three years, the Georgia Department of Corrections allegedly has denied transgender inmate Ashley Diamond medical treatment for gender dysphoria, causing her such distress that she has attempted on multiple occasions to castrate herself, cut off her penis, and kill herself. In February, Diamond filed a lawsuit against GDC officials, and on Friday the Department of Justice dealt the GDC a major blow, claiming that the state's failure to adequately treat inmates with gender dysphoria "constitutes cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment." The DOJ weighed in on Diamond's case via a statement of interest, which offers recommendations for how the district court in Georgia should rule in the case. It focused on Georgia's so-called freeze-frame policy, which prevents inmates from receiving hormone therapy for gender dysphoria if they were not identified as transgender and referred for treatment immediately during the prison intake process. "Freeze-frame policies and other policies that apply blanket prohibitions to such treatment are facially unconstitutional because they fail to provide individualized assessment and treatment of a serious medical need," DOJ officials wrote, adding that similar policies have been previously struck down in Wisconsin and New York. Chinyere Ezie, Diamond's lead attorney, says the defense has until next Friday to submit briefs in response to the complaint, which may include a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The first hearing for the case is scheduled for April 13. You can read the DOJ's entire statement below, and check out our earlier coverage of Diamond's case. http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2015...constitutional

I've been thinking about the proposed Florida trans bathroom law. I wonder if those legislators realize that, if everyone obeyed that law, they WOULD be having bearded men (transmales) going into the ladies restroom. How are they proposing to deal with that, I wonder. Certainly there will be a LOT of trouble, overall, I am thinking. 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.
