When Posting becomes Praxis - Utah auditor slams transgender bathroom law as 10,000 hoax complaints flood his office

“In this vein, we remind the public that under (Utah law), an individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in a ‘privacy space.’ If we receive lewd or voyeuristic images, we will promptly refer those to law enforcement.”

What I want to know is, are these photos Shock images being sent by the trolls? Or are the Mormon busybodies taking cell phone pictures through the cracks of bathroom stalls of women they suspect of being trans?

They need over a thousand paragraphs just to say:

We reaffirm that we are transphobic bigots and will continue to be transphobic bigots, and we and our fascist pigs and all other aspects of our shitty legal system will continue to make trans people's lives hell-on-earth.

(Look: I should become a legislator, I guess.)

Good for people like this guy who are opposing these laws and their enforcement, I suppose. I have a hard time caring that much about the minutia of the legal system, as I am extremely skeptical about it needing an excuse to attack trans people. When it feels like it, it just does. When a cop sees a trans person or someone they think is trans, that, already, is blood in the water. When they want a reason to arrest, beat, or murder, they'll happily come up with one whether or not this law exists. When they want a charge to stick, they've got hundreds of thousands more options to choose from and can easily find one whether it's this explicitly transphobic one or not. Just like with unhoused people, you can judge it flagrantly unconstitutional to prosecute people for camping on public land, and they'll instantly and unabashedly just go after folks for public indecency, noise ordinances, littering, loitering, or whatever the fuck else comes to mind. Legalism is a shit.
