Just to be clear, you think they would serve arrest warrants to people who do this? Or are you just talking about the process of how laws are enforced?
I can foresee it happening, yes.

I mean if they are just calling up the cops with "creepy dude is creeping around this public bathroom" they'd probably show up regardless of this law, right?
Right. And voyeurism and assault are already illegal, so if someone went into a restroom with the intention of spying on someone or raping them, they would already be breaking the law, regardless of what sign is on the door. Someone who is willing to violate the rights of another person, as well as break the law, is not going to have any compunction about transgressing bathroom etiquette, so the law does not even prevent the thing it purports to.

Just out of curiosity, could a cop demand a dick check? Say the law went through and then some lady see's another lady she doesn't think is a real lady and calls the cops. Can the cop demand the person prove what gender they are? Or I suppose the cop could come up with some lame excuse for why a cavity search needed to be done?
Yes. An officer could claim that it is plainly obvious a person is transgender and demand to search her. An officer could arrest a transgender person for suspicion of violating the bathroom law, and search her while she is under arrest. An officer could claim that the very presence of a transgender person in the restroom is existent threat to the cisgender people in the restroom, and demand to search her. An officer could claim that a transgender person leaving the restroom is literally a suspect attempting to flee the scene of a crime, and demand to search her. It is pretty gross.

But then if you've had your dick removed then I..I don't even know what that looks or feels like. I don't know if a person could even tell a faux vagina from a real one? I've never seen what the parts these people have look like once their surgery is over.
Vaginoplasties are virtually indistinguishable from natural vaginas.
Glad the media has their priorities straight.
Advocate's a rag, but this is interesting.
Apparently, the North Carolina bill is a toothless law. A police representative claimed not only will they not arrest or force someone to use a bathroom, they aren't even sure how they could enforce this law if they wanted to.
What's going on? I don't really understand what the governor is trying to prove, or what he hopes to gain..

This is just getting tiresome. If you were born with a dick USE THE MALE BATHROOM.
Why the f*ck are we spending so much god damn energy on this shit? We have real problems and our president is issuing orders out about friggin bathrooms.
If using a certain bathroom hurts someone they are mentally ill. Take a piss and be done with it. It's like the entire country has to change because .03% of people are uncomfortable. Stop catering to the mentally ill. If someone thinks they are Superman we aren't going to encourage them to leap off buildings or jump in front of bullets, are we?
A few decades from now are we going to be looking back and wondering how we could ever encourage people, especially young people, to mutilate their genitals in order to better fit with what they IMAGINE themselves to be?
