Under H.B. 257, transgender people who have not had such surgery and have not updated their birth certificates but who use the restroom or locker room associated with their gender can be charged with lewdness, lewdness involving a child, voyeurism, loitering in a privacy space, or, in the case of locker rooms specifically, criminal trespass.
It is extreme legislation that explicitly retrofits the crimes of voyeurism and criminal trespass in the state to allow for the prosecution of many transgender people for using the right bathroom," wrote Chris Geidner of Law Dork.
