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.

    They stopped that woman from peeing in a toilet.

    Good job. The children are safe.

    From her.

    Not from school shooters tho. They are still in terrible danger from them.

    But at least they won’t have to deal with that woman using the wrong bathroom.
