Legislator wants law governing bathroom use in Wyoming

Roy Edwards, R-Gillette, said he is drafting a bill that would require people to use the bathroom, locker room or changing facility that corresponds to the biological sex listed on their birth certificate.

“I’ve it (in) mind ever since the problem started happening when people of the other sex thought they could enter into the bathroom of the opposite sex,” Edwards told the Star-Tribune.

Edwards said that while this had been going on for “the last couple years,” he had not heard of any problems related to people using the bathroom in Wyoming.

It will be impossible, especially at the outhouses. They don't have enough personnel as it is so I think they are just going through motions to make themselves feel better, like mental masturbation... they are pros at that.

like drivers' licenses, auto registration, where you have to apply for unemployment, not sure about much else but if the national park does not have rules or laws addressing various "things" then the host state's laws with be in effect... depends on what the "things" are.

We don't give a shit, we have more important things to deal with.
What's with the laws that affect almost nobody?
