Bruce, if I were The Onion, the headline would be "straight, white male perverts used as excuse by straight, white male bigots to discriminate against trans people"

*If the problem were gay male rapists, they could have already done that in the men's room, like discrimination against gay people using straight people's bathrooms claimed they would, but never did.

*If the problem were black male rapists they could have already done that in the men's room, like discrimination against black people using white people's bathrooms claimed they would, but never did.

Using bathroom laws, and rape-scare tactics, to discriminate against minority groups, is not a new thing.
