> My friend with half the cells in their body male and half female would like not to be arrested if ever visiting TX and needing to take a pee. Why would your friend be arrested for taking a pee? Does your friend not have a birth certificate? Or does your friend's birth certificate not have an assigned sex? In fact, I don't even see how they could arrest someone if they can't prove that someone's assigned sex is different from the bathroom they went to, given that it's not mandatory to carry your birth certificate? I'm not saying I am in favor of this Bill (or anything else), I'm just trying to understand the situation. Although, if I were to express my personal opinion, I think if your philosophy is to have separate male and female bathrooms (which I understand is favored by some women, due to some concerns which might or might not be legitimate), it does seem to make sense to legally assign people to one of the two types of bathroom, so that there is no legal confusion. However, in this case I think you'd also need to be able to legally change someone's assigned bathrooms, due to all the different complex issues that can arise throughout one's development, which could make someone's assigned category the wrong one, practically speaking.
