Please note that in this case the Bill refers to the "original" so no subsequent changes can be taken into account, which we agree is bad. This Bill was simply designed to be performatively cruel to a small out group, not actually solve any perceived issues, it seems. Or at worst was not prepared to accept any nuance about the reality of timing and genotype/phenotype of anyone not fitting the mythical binary.
You and I agree that there would be sensible things that could be done, eg making it clear that someone is able to use a toilet appropriate to their currently agreed/certified gender where appropriate without argument. (Some idiots would still make life unpleasant for them on occasions.) And indeed countries with gender recognition rules HAVE made things better for the people who need it, but this Bill was not any of that, it seems.
And in many cases these days toilets are simply safely ungendered, which often means shorter waits for women too.
One of the UK daily papers that makes the most clickbait cash out of this topic has (or had) entirely ungendered toilets at their London offices AFAIK. It's outrageous hypocrisy.
