Surely there are enough real problems that legislators should be trying to solve. They shouldn't be wasting their time solving hypothetical problems that don't really exist.

But even the hypothetical situation is not helped by this law. What if a trans woman did intend to sexually assault her bathroom-mates? Someone who has no regard for the existing rape laws is not going to be stopped short by a new law about being in the wrong bathroom.

Obviously, these sorts of laws only exist to harass and shame and make life as unpleasant as possible for law-abiding trans people, not to protect society from criminals.
