Thanks For Nothing, Florida

Given that I can’t enter the USA these days, I can’t go to ICFA anyway, but if I could a new law being put before the Florida State Legislature would give me pause for thought about going. Why? Because if the bill passes and I were to use a women’s restroom in Florida then I would be liable for up to a year in prison. Also anyone else in the restroom at the time would be able to bring a civil suit for damages against both me and the company on whose premises the restroom is located. Full details at Slate.

Somehow I doubt that this is likely to become law, and even if it did I’m pretty sure that it would get ruled unconstitutional in due course. But you never know. A very bad part of me rather hopes that it does become law, and that a whole lot of hairy, muscular trans guys descend upon Florida and start using the women’s restrooms.
