A recent court hearing on a lawsuit brought by six transgender Idahoans against the state’s latest bathroom bill has revealed just how unworkable the draconian new law would be. In fact, to enforce it, an attorney for the red state said restroom users might need to undergo forced DNA testing.

House Bill 752, which passed the Legislature this year with only Republican votes, prohibits trans people from using public restrooms that match their gender identity, both in government-owned buildings and private businesses that serve the public.

At the hearing, the judge in the case — Chief U.S. District Judge for the District of Idaho, Amanda K. Brailsford — questioned the state over how exactly they would determine the s*x at birth of an individual accused of violating the law, The Idaho Capital Sun reports.

Kell Olson, a trans attorney for Lambda Legal, told the judge that if police confronted him and asked for his ID, officers would find that his ID lists him as male. Brailsford noted, for the record, that most of the plaintiffs suing the state also have state-issued IDs with gender markers that are aligned with their gender identity.

Idaho Solicitor General Michael Zarian suggested the solution was simple: “There is DNA testing.”

Lambda’s Olson told the court that DNA testing usually requires a warrant.

“I don’t think the state has an answer for how you identify someone’s biological s*x,” ACLU of Idaho attorney Emily Croston told reporters. “Are we just going to look at folks as they enter a restroom and determine whether we think they look enough like a man or a woman? That’s ridiculous.”

The hearing only reinforced the plaintiffs’ argument that the law is unconstitutionally vague, and police organizations’ earlier doubts that it’s practically unenforceable.

Proving the former claim, Solicitor General Zarian tried using an exemption in the law to demonstrate how reasonable the ban is. The law allows individuals to use restrooms that don’t align with their s*x if they are in “dire need” of going to the bathroom, he pointed out.

There is no “clear or reasonable way” to determine a person’s s*x at birth during a field contact without engaging in “invasive and inappropriate” questioning or searches, said one police group president.

The ACLU notes that analyses of public safety data have found policies inclusive of transgender people’s access to public accommodations have no impact on rates of harassment or violence, while policies that restrict access actually increase the risk of harassment and violence. Trans people are four times as likely as their cisgender peers to be the victims of violence.

Nine bathroom bans have passed by red state legislatures in recent years, but Idaho’s is the only one to cover private businesses as well as government buildings. A first offense is a misdemeanor, with up to one year in prison; a second offense jumps to a felony, with up to five years in prison.

A fourth violation would constitute a third felony conviction, punishable under Idaho’s persistent violator statute by a mandatory minimum of five years and up to life in prison.

What kind of a person says garbage like this? This is a major “conservative” influencer and the perverted mind behind the Daily Wire’s transphobic hit piece propaganda titled ‘What is a Woman?’, demonstrating once again that transphobia and racism always go hand in hand.
