In florida, there was a bill proposed that would make it illegal for some one to go into public place made for one sex if they weren't born as that sex. This goes for bathrooms, dressing rooms, locker rooms and showers, or wherever there is an "expectation of privacy". If some one who was born as a man went into a girl's restroom, they could be fined up to 1000 or go to prison for a year. This is called the Single-Sex Public Facilities Act, and is made to target Florida's transgender community. Although they recently won legal protection from discrimination with a Human rights ordinance, which was passed only a few months ago in December. This bill is Representative Frank Artiles's response to that. He says, "My number one concern is public safety. It's not that the transgender or the gender identity community is dangerous by any means, but the ordinance creates a giant loophole for criminals, sexual deviants and sexual predators to walk into a shower, a woman's locker room under the cover of law."
