Summary

Marcy Rheintgen, a 20-year-old transgender college student, was arrested at the Florida State Capitol after intentionally entering a women’s restroom in protest of the state’s transgender bathroom law.

Civil rights lawyers say it is the first known arrest under such laws in any U.S. state.

Rheintgen faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge and could face up to 60 days in jail.

Florida is one of only two states to criminalize such acts.

    They stopped that woman from peeing in a toilet.

    Good job. The children are safe.

    From her.

    Not from school shooters tho. They are still in terrible danger from them.

    But at least they won’t have to deal with that woman using the wrong bathroom.

      Also not safe from being assaulted by a Republican politician in a women’s bathroom, which has happened tons more than by trans women - especially since there’s no recorded incidents of a trans woman assaulting anybody in a women’s bathroom and the group behind the claim openly said that they made it up in an interview 15 years ago.

      Well it’s illegal to shoot up schools too but people still do it. I guess laws really don’t matter anymore.
