The only policy that makes any sense at all is let the individual decide what john they want to use.
If only conservatives were as concerned about literally anything as they are about children’s genitals. >

They'd actually be a party that didn't stand on children's suicide corpses.
Edit before my eventual oblivion downvote:
1) Yes, its in poor taste. I was born and raised in Florida. This appalls me to no end that the GQP thinks biological anatomy is all there is to gender. I believe gender discussion should literally be an open forum, yet they scream with Maga-phones and pearl clutches and wonder why they're increasingly hated.
2) Forcing children into an identity not their own, like cookie cutter children, statistically increases depression and suicides of those people if not homicide and assaults. As the very antagonistic, and homophobic, saying goes, "They'll fuck the (insert identity issue) out of you." I saw that happen to too many peers growing up. Some had friends who had couches. Some had nowhere and ended up having to either hide it or be homeless.
3) This continued assault of forced religious beliefs being hamfisted shoved down the throats of many is quite opposite of the freedom of religion. We had one kid, who was my best friend in high school, who was an outspoken Satanist. We had actual DISCUSSIONS at my school because it was safe for us to do so. Florida has stripped that safe zone away. I wouldn't move back if they PAID ME to live there.
4) I won't even go to Disney over these draconian laws. I wish more people would do the same and point to the Government as the reason why. I wouldn't risk my kids health, or safety, under that purview. I keep hoping it will change, that my classmates and peers will change it... but I think more of them are leaving, or falling to drugs. or disenfranchisement via state voting games, and I worry it will spread.
ETA: Thank you all for reaching out. I may be in a dark place, and feeling darker some days more than others...but I haven't given in. It just hit me at a bad time with one kids birthday and the holidays all rolling up. With the physical pain and mental suffering, it makes for a potent combination. The words help, but remember to keep not only fighting your own battles, but learn the art of debate and reasoning and fighting for yourself and your own futures as well. All that evil requires to win is for the good (wo)men to do nothing. Battles are not just won in the fields, but in the hearts and minds of the populace as well and we need to fight against the inherent greed that seems to be endemic to being human. Be better, and be ready to fight in any capacity to pave a stronger tomorrow.
And never be ashamed for helping someone, even if you overextend yourself to do so. Compassion, and empathy, are the first of mighty weapons because people remember when you helped them when everyone else turned their backs.
Thank you again. When I couldnt talk to the ones I knew, the strangers of Reddit became by audience. You listened when I needed it, and I'll try to return that and pay it forward when I see it. May your gods, goddesses, or fortunes favor you this coming year. >

It's fine to call out the reality. >

The future are Unisex toilets
Make the Cabins uin a way no one can crouch under it (i anyway never understood why anyone would build stalls the way Murica does)

Some of the grossest propositions and advances towards me as a trans woman, whether online or in person, have been from pretty clearly typical GOP supporters, if not GOP staffers and such themselves when I lived around DC and circled the fetish scene there. >

this creates a circuit split, so at some point in the near future SCOTUS will take up a case challenging the constitutionality of these facially discriminatory policies. >

The current SC is currently a 6-3 Christian Theocracy so don’t expect anything. You already had one of the judges laying out their plan to get rid of gay marriage. >

Not just Christian; Catholic.
Because only Catholics can be counted on to put their religion ahead of good jurisprudence apparently >

As an oldster let me say...KIDS THESE DAYS ... (lol) are so much better off, so much kinder to each other, so open, so don't give a fuck about gender, ... never I'm the world would I have imagined this possible. (out gay man here, loudmouth anarchist weirdo). 
The bigot monsters are outnumbered, they thrive only by oppressing others, their major power, division, enforced ignorance and lies and deceit, undone by people ACTUALLY TALKING about shit like being unhappy and depressed and having at least some people be kind to you.
If you had done that in my time you'd have been whisked away out of sight. 
"The closet" is a concept broader and wider than just sexuality. Silence keeps people fearful divided and silent. >

A year ago I was at a playground and some tweens were playing on the equipment and one boy said "I think I like boys" and everyone was like "yeah that's cool".
No one cared. >

That's my experience talking to younger folk. It's a fkn revolution, no shit. >

Wonder when they'll start complaining about FtMs in female bathrooms, since their whole idea was to ban (attack) transwomen (men in their transphobic eyes) in female bathrooms. >

There's no thought, only animal response to "scary" ideas. >

Republicans have a disgusting obsession with other people’s genitals, bizarre and revolting perverts. >

I think it's more along the lines of various conservative communities not wanting to see a trans-woman dressed as a woman while still visibly showing masculine body features and traits.
It's (perhaps understandably) unnerving to many of them and they would rather these people stay away from their communities. They have zero desire to expand their worldview and consider different ideas on how to live life.
That's why they're obsessed based upon what I've heard around me anecdotally.
Weirdness or sticking-out in any way is seen as "Un-American" and an active threat to a stable community around where I live, even if the persons in question aren't doing anything illegal or violent.
Things like drag shows are disturbing to them and they feel anything that disturbs their community or society should be removed ASAP, violent or not.
It's tragic, honestly.
