City Bans Trans People From Using Restrooms That Don't Match Their Sex Assigned At Birth [View all]

The City Council of Odessa, TX, (The Friendly State) passed the ordinance by a vote of 5 - 2, which is a solution for which there is no problem, except on Fox News. My wife informs me that in all her years, she has never witnessed a problem as they have stalls with doors. She has let me know, innumerable times, that there are just never enough of them at concerts, etc.

But back to the point, will you need your Birth Certificate to use a public restroom and what if you forgot it? How will they enforce this law? I think since Ted Cruz seems to have such a weird, sort of perverse interest in this non-existent problem, he should move to Odessa and act as a bathroom monitor, checking your Birth Certificate then looking in your underwear to verify compliance. You just know he wants to and it would at least give him something to do other than the only thing he seems to spend most of his doing, which is trolling.
