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.
I do NOT want that girl going in a man’s bathroom!! If any woman’s going to be attacked in a bathroom, it’s her… she’s young, petite and gorgeous. It’s so wrong
They deliberately choose that pic so you can sympathize
In real life you can tell she’s a trans and not that pretty (by female attractiveness standards)

I don’t understand the argument for attacks in restrooms. How often does that happen in America?
And how is it that separate washrooms are supposed to prevent it? If a man is going to attack a woman ina restroom, is a sign saying they aren’t allowed in really going to stop them if no one else is around?
These laws are stupid and pointless, full stop. There are already plenty of existing laws against doing the sort of things that would actually be harmful. Just having a law to stop someone from entering the “wrong” restroom is stupid because there are plenty of reasons why someone might need to do so, even if they aren’t trans or intersex or whatever. Just entering a restroom is not harmful to anyone. And as you point out, this law doesn’t stop them if they have the intent to do harm. All it serves to do is give the people in authority an easy way to punish a group they’ve identified as “bad”.
I don’t want people being attacked in bathrooms period. Men’s bathrooms are not supposed to be lawless dens of brutal violence, just places to fucking pee, poop and wash hands.
I’ve seen girls that looked below 10 in men’s bathroom. The women’s had a massive queue. Literaly no one cared, she went into cubicle, came out, washer her hands and left. No drama.
But I guess I live in civilised world.
Simple, those girls aren’t “different”
In hopes someone new sees this…
It’s never about the children. It’s a scape goat.
She is gorgeous, but let’s not create a false bar of its ok if you’re pretty. We also have a story circulating right now in Florida about a very tall cis woman being harassed for using the women’s bathroom and BEING FIRED FROM HER JOB FOR NOT REPORTING IT RIGHT.
We all need a place to take a shit. Pretty or not.
It’s not that, it’s the fact that she can easily become a target because she’s young, petite and gorgeous. It can happen to anyone, and the law is wrong full stop.
That’s a weird thing to say
there’s always an incel trying to be a white knight….
“oh m’lady, you’re so young, petite, and gorgeous, i will protect thee!”
i will add that, trans women are much more vulnerable and at risk in a men’s bathroom than a cis woman is with a trans woman in the women’s restroom…
That is how many cis men think, and we are talking about her risk going into a space where there frequently won’t be any other witnesses.
It is not a weird thing to say, it is a relevant point.
Going on a certain kink site made me realize just how fucked dudes are in the head lmao.
It makes her vulnerable. It’s hard for a woman that size to defend herself against someone far bigger.
Right? Had to make sure that this wasn’t some stock photo, she’s drop dead gorgeous
