“As a trans man, I have the immense privilege of blending in. But these laws force me to choose between safety and obeying the law.”

      No they didn’t. The point of these laws is exactly what has happened in this article. It’s to force trans people in general to make an impossible choice and be pushed out of existing in public society. There is literally nothing about these laws that is expected to improve anyone’s safety - that’s just the cynical rhetoric used to stop liberals objecting.

      I don’t think they care. It’s all about scoring cheap political points

      The fact police weren’t even informed about the law says a lot about the priorities

        It would be a hard sell to make me believe the police didn’t know what was going on here. They’re playing innocent in a difficult situation at best.
