What prompted this rash of bathroom laws?
Was there a problem?
More politicians have been charged with bathroom crimes than transgenders.

They needed to call an emergency session of congress to protect the citizens of Charlotte from this significant problem!

Its a presidential year, so everyone is looking for ways to whip up voters.

And does that matter to a man wishing to expose himself to children? Before this stupid ban, transgender were able to use the bathroom they identify with, now they can still use the bathroom they identify with because no one is checking people's genitalia when they enter the restroom.

I've already provided citations from Cornell's School of Law, the same website you've linked.

Civil suits filed for cases of discrimination against any of those included in the Federal Government's list of protected classes meet that requirement. However, if there is an allegation that is not covered by federal law but is covered by state law, the federal court must separate that specific issue and remand it to state court.
I was using your link, you only read a), there are specific criteria that allows a defendant to move from state to federal - read down.


A defendant needs to have a reason, here's another link:

Consequences of Filing in the Wrong Court

If you file a case in the wrong court, a defendant may get the case moved to another court (perhaps to a court that's less convenient or favorable to you than if you had chosen the proper court), or even get the case dismissed altogether.
Federal Court Jurisdiction

If you are soon to be involved in a lawsuit, the odds are overwhelming that you'll be in state court (see below). Federal courts have subject matter jurisdiction in only two kinds of cases:

Just stop. Or do you suggest that your opinion somehow overrules federal law and that you're somehow more informed on the issue than the law school profs at Cornell?

Yes. FELONY* indecent exposure issues in public facility (schools, etc.) restrooms, locker rooms, and showers, and the fact that parents DO NOT want their kids to be forced to involuntarily submit to that form of sexual abuse.

* Codified in all states as felonies because of the school grounds location and/or age of the victims.

Why on earth would anyone allow them to LEGALLY do so? THAT'S the issue. How do you not get that?

Trans persons with male genitalia do NOT belong in public female restrooms, locker rooms, or showers where MINORS may be present. And vice versa.
