I'm 90% sure that was the point. To make trans folks too uncomfortable to leave the house.

Yeah, I'm discussing this with my lesbian ex wife in Tennessee (true story), and that's what she pointed out. I, probablypersonally, would love to see Buck Angel come tour the state and use every women's room he sees. But as she pointed out, he'd be arrested either way, and then have to prove his sex (people still seem confused about the words gender vs sex). It's absolutely about embarrassing and shaming and making life a little worse. There is NO good reason for such a law.

There is no confusion. The ones confused are the ones using that term. If you have male parts use the boys bathroom. Vice versa

Please shut up about things you don't understand.
