In this episode of The Spectrum, we're taking a hard look at the recent wave of "bathroom bills" and their far-reaching consequences. Proponents claim these laws are about protecting women, but what is the real impact of policing who can use a public restroom? We'll break down the flawed logic behind these bills and reveal who actually gets caught in the crossfire. It's not just transgender people who are targeted; these laws create a "minimum standard of femininity" that puts anyone who doesn't conform—including many cisgender women—at risk of harassment and scrutiny. Join us as we explore how this regressive obsession isn't just an attack on the trans community, but an invasion of privacy for everyone. It’s an ironic overreach from a political movement that claims to champion small government, turning everyday citizens into bathroom gatekeepers. Discover the unintended victims and the real agenda behind this discriminatory legislation.
