RE: Agitator presses their luck in Florida and sadly, I think it was for "internet points""

I saw a tweet about exactly that. Right now I think the trans person is trying to seem like a "nice person" and maybe they are, but that doesn't change the fact that they intentionally broke the law, and planned to do it as well. I think this isn't the last that we see of this, other people who aren't as pleasant are going to follow suit.

IDGAF about people who "broke the law" if they violated no one's life, liberty, or property. And I would argue using the wrong toilet in a government building isn't an offense on the level of criminal trespass or anything.
this is a very good point. Unfortunately when it comes to sexual predators, the bathroom is kind of special ground because its not like we can put cameras in there. I do agree with you though. I just don't know if prosecuting people after the fact (once they do violate someone's life, liberty, or property) is the best answer in this situation.
it's kind of silly that we even have to have this discussion though. Because when I was younger everyone just used the bathrooms that were built for them.
I worry about the conflation of trans activists and pedos. The popular perception on the right is that they form a perfect circle in a venn diagram, but I'm unconvinced.
On the other hand, I suspect the trans movement is largely a bizarre blend of politics and .mental illness, with the former telling the latter that their problems are rooted in gender and how others perceived it.
The left says, "if you don't accept whatever someone tells you about their gender, you're literally murdering them."
The right says, "the trans want to molest your kids."
Yeah, the activist obsession with kids is creepy. No, disagreeing with someone's self-identification is not a violation of their rights. But is using the wrong bathroom really a crime?
in college, I routinely used the wrong bathroom because it was the only one available and women routinely did this as well. We never thought of it as a crime then so no, I don't believe it is a crime.
I don't think it takes a great deal of mental capacity to understand that these rules and laws that are being made are simply political in nature and the ends that people go to have this be the hill they are going to die on are pretty damn stupid. I mean, the example of a daughter being molested by a man in a dress is easily circumvented and when my sisters were very young, my father would always accompany them into the MEN'S bathroom, which I think any good parent would.
The idea that without this rule that kids are going to be getting molested left and right is utter nonsense for sure and most places have "family bathrooms" anyway.
However, I think that the reason that this became an issue in the first place is because some people with as you say "mix of politics and mental illness" really made a scene of it by having their junk out in fitness locker rooms took it to an extreme. Those cases should be punished of course, but the fact that they were not kind of lead us to this point... i think.
