That's the thing, these rules are effectively unenforceable. Like, Target or McDonalds or whoever sure as hell aren't going to spend $ to have someone monitor their bathrooms. And if some chud wants to "tattle" to a manager, I don't even see how that could work. Do they think a manager is going to call security (most places don't even have real security anymore) and do a genital check or something. Capital has no interest in enforcing this.
Only places I could see this practically being an issue would be like a school, where you have the same people using the same bathrooms every day, and there's some authority in charge over users (school admins over students).
So it's not even going to be effective. Doesn't matter, chuds just want to win a battle in the culture war for once. Fucking losers.
The point of them is to legitimize harassment. My best friend (NB, AFAB) told me a story about a time when they went to the women's room and a man started banging on the door shouting, "There's a man in there!" When they came out he realized his mistake and sheepishly went on his way. That's the purpose of the law, obviously it isn't really enforceable on everyone, but for people who don't pass or who as present in a queer or androgynous way, then suddenly strangers feel like they have a right to harass and interrogate us. It has nothing to do with safety, except insofar as the assholes want an excuse so they don't feel like assholes.

Yeah for sure, this is what I think it's ultimately about.
