Summary

Marcy Rheintgen, a 20-year-old transgender college student, was arrested at the Florida State Capitol after intentionally entering a women’s restroom in protest of the state’s transgender bathroom law.

Civil rights lawyers say it is the first known arrest under such laws in any U.S. state.

Rheintgen faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge and could face up to 60 days in jail.

Florida is one of only two states to criminalize such acts.

    When I was a younger man and lived on the road I exclusively used the women’s restrooms to shit.

    They were usually cleaner.

    Except for Philly. Philly punkes 20 years ago seriously used to have no rules. Or clean bathrooms.
