These laws won’t prevent assault and will only harm trans kids. If a boy wanted to walk into the girls bathroom to assault someone they could that easily without pretending to be trans. I have seen it happen. There is nobody guarding bathrooms and it only takes minutes for an assault to happen. If anything pretending to be a trans girl would make it harder for them to assault because people pay closer attention to trans people. Furthermore by forcing trans girls to use the mens restroom you are putting them at risk for assault. Yes, it is not impossible for a trans girl to be a predator, but they have the same likelihood of being predators as EVERYONE ELSE. They aren’t special, cis women assault other cis women, cis men assault other cis men, but you wouldn’t ban a cis women from the girls bathroom even after she was accused of assault. So why punish the innocent children who just want to go to the bathroom without it being political. Another point I have is by forcing trans men to use the girls bathroom you are actively putting men in the girls bathroom. I know trans boys that are able to live without anyone knowing they are trans, so if that boy walked into the women’s restroom because the law required it then the girls in the bathroom would probably feel uncomfortable. On top of all the bathroom things these laws would just be putting trans kids at risk of more harassment, bullying, and abuse. When we don’t listen to kids about who they are then they will resort to extremes. Don’t let that happen, just let the kids explore their identities and come to their own conclusions while being in a healthy environment to do so.
