Letter: Unintended consequences

Published: 04-10-2025 1:51 PM

In the recent kerfuffle regarding HB 148, the so-called "bathroom bill," one point was overlooked. HB 148 would legislate that a trans man (someone born biologically female but identifying as a man) could be required to use a bathroom designated as "women's."

So, a person who identifies as a man, dresses and presents as a man, perhaps taking testosterone hormone therapy and so on, could be required to use a "women's" bathroom solely because of their birth certificate.
