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 got a food truck bazaar near me with only one bathroom with a placard that shows the typical man/woman then a half half, and an alien reading. " Whatever, just wash your hands."

    Best break down I’ve ever seen on this dumb ass debate.
