53. They don't want trans people to use any restroom at all

They don't want trans people to live authentically. Or really, they just don't want trans people to exist.

These laws are written so that trans people are in danger no matter what restroom they use. And I believe that's the intent. The laws are a form of terrorism. Keep trans people so afraid that they never come out as trans.
