Oh yeah allowing photos, in regards to bathrooms... so... do they expect people to just pull out phones and take pictures of people in bathrooms? Because I feel like there's maybe a whole bunch of privacy issues with that.

Not to mention it’s creepy AF!

I'm going to report Rep. Kera Birkeland, who sponsored the bill, because her presence in any bathroom causes me affront and alarm and discomfort.

There's no file size limit on the form. It would be a shame if someone were to create a 10,000 x 10,000 pixel image in photoshop, paste in the trans flag, and export it as a PDF with image compression turned off, then repeatedly submit the form with the resulting 300 megabyte attachment, thus taking up a ton of their server space. I sure hope no one does that.

Try the wikimedia commons image of Botticelli’s “The birth of Venus”. It’s extra deep since we’re talking about trans issues here!

The snitch form asks for photographic evidence: "Click to choose a file(s) or Drag file(s)". So I sent them a pic of Kitara with the filename "You asked for a Drag file.jpg". Hope they appreciate my sense of humor lol!

I filed a complaint about how somebody - not me - summoned a vengeance demon of indeterminate gender and it really scared me, Harry Dresden, a magical detective who regularly summons demons. I included a photo (thank you AI).

People who are so over the top paranoid about this shit must be the REAL perverts! Why else would you think so much about it?!

This really disturbs me as I usually layover in SLC airport to fly to California from Massachusetts. I don’t think I’m going to anymore until this shit changes.

Just where do they think transgender have been going to the bathroom for decades? Wendy's fast food chain opened a new one here in Springfield, Oregon. It felt good seeing the new building did not have gender assigned bathrooms. I can't imagine the fear of simply going to the bathroom my heart goes out to those that have to experience that. I have noticed that more and more "family" bathrooms with a lock on the door are being seen in airports and shopping malls.

I finally found a use for AI! As disgusting as it was, a picture of DeSantis and Mango Mussolini kissing in a public bathroom was hilarious!

Now excuse me while I bleach my eyeballs

This law causes affront and alarm

I feel like this is just going to hurt them.. the people who sponsored the bill and support it. This can’t be good for business.

Everyone just needs to flood the internet form

I note that the form above this snitch line is to be used for reporting “Improper Government Activity.” It would be a shame if multiple people reported the Government of Utah to itself for attempting to enforce Utah code 36G Chspter 31 as “Improper Government Activity.”
