Well if you don't have an id you will be contained until the police find out who you are. If they wish. I never go out without mine.You do realize you are suppose to carry an id everywhere you go?What a load of crap.
Until the law is clarified, the old ways still prevail and those old ways included public restrooms being limited to folks of the same gender. Ladies' rooms for women and men's rooms for men.
Hell, there was even a desire by women to make sure that males were restricted from the ladies' rooms. Something about safety and security?
I'm sorry if a lesbian who perhaps looks too much like a male got mistaken for being a male. (And even that assumes that the OP story was not itself simply staged agitprop crap). But I wouldn't blame the police or the "RW" for removing any male from any women's restroom.
If only she'd been able to show her 'papers', she would have been given permission by the government to urinate.Since when has the documentation necessary to empty your bladder risen to the level of a TSA screening?
And 'safety and security'? Who was protected by this woman being harrassed by police? What 'danger' was the public protected from? Do you realize how *utterly* a non-issue this is? That poor, stupid conservatives have swallowed yet *another* brain dead wedge issue to protect NO ONE while harming actual people?
Is it the law now that a woman has to wear pigtails and pink dresses to use the bathroom if she doesn't carry ID?
You do realize that no, you're not. You're under no obligation to carry any id to stand in a line or go see a movie. To walk down the street, to eat dinner, to take out the garbage.
Nor are you under any obligation to show ID....unless you're engaged in an activity where it is required, like driving.
What you're obligated to do is verbally identify yourself to a cop if asked. That's it. She was under no obligation to carry ID nor to show it to 'prove' she was female in order to pee
