When men are permitted to prey on the weak in the name of “inclusion,” you know our country’s priorities have hit a new low. Preying on women is exactly what transgender activists do daily, and in the name of making gender-confused men feel more comfortable, they are putting women and children at risk.

Utah, like several other states, has laws regarding the use of bathrooms. The Beehive State dictates that people must use bathrooms and changing rooms that correspond to their biological sex in government-owned buildings. That includes public schools. If the law is violated, government entities can be fined up to $10,000 daily for each violation.

In other words, it’s not the gender-confused person who gets in trouble but the public school or other government-owned facility that allows it to happen.

To help enforce the law, Utah set up a reporting form so that women and girls who encounter a man in their bathroom can inform the state and crack down on offenders. School employees who allow others to intentionally use the incorrect bathroom can also be reported on this tip form.

Trans activists didn’t like that very much, so they decided to flood the tip line with false reports. Utah Auditor John Dougall, who is tasked with investigating each of these claims, was overwhelmed with over 10,000 tipoffs. His comment was what one would expect of a government bureaucrat: “No auditor goes into auditing so they can be the bathroom monitors. I think there were much better ways for the Legislature to go about addressing their concerns, rather than this ham-handed approach.”

More importantly, trans activists such as Erin Reed explained their strategy: “If there are 4,000, 5,000, 6,000 form responses that are entered in, it’s going to be much harder for the auditor’s office to sift through every one of them and find the one legitimate trans person who was caught using a bathroom.”

Trans activists are concerned that because of this law, every person’s biological sex will be questioned. They claim to fear that individuals who enter the women’s bathroom might have their sex questioned if they happen to look masculine. They also don’t want “trans women” to be harassed. This is beside the point because the law isn’t about penalizing the “trans women” but about the government’s enforcement of the law.

If the motivations of these activists were to protect everyone involved, then insisting that even gender-confused men use the correct bathroom is in the interest of everyone in the community. A tiny fraction of men actually have gender identity disorder; the rest of the still-minuscule number lean toward transgenderism because of sexual perversion generally brought on by porn sickness (also known as autogynephilia.

But it’s not just gender-confused men who pose a threat. It turns out that predators are also happy to take advantage to harm women and girls in vulnerable spaces. Enforcing sex-specific bathrooms and dressing rooms protects gender-confused men from false accusations and women and girls from threats, attacks, and peeping Toms.

But no. These men’s sexual perversions supersede women’s safety. Ergo, what has been happening in the prison systems has now been mainstreamed in the public schools (which, in some cases, could be argued are not so different from the prisons).

Utah has the right idea by going after the institutions and not the individual. These trans activists are either stupid or evil for not seeing how this solution protects everyone involved. As always, it’s society’s most vulnerable — women and children — who are the victims of these leftist activists.
