I think I have come up with a common sense solution to the trans wackos bathroom thing. First, you have to understand terms like crazy or wacko are medical terms. The only term that rings the bell in the court system is insane. This is an important distinction because one can be crazy and not insane or insane and not crazy.

It has to be the height of folly to carve out an exception to cover a group of wackos who make up less than 1% of the United States population. On top of that, some of these wackos will spontaneously decide to revert to the sex with which they were born.  Rather than admit they are seriously mentally ill; the trans community wants to legitimize their condition by changing the law.

On the other hand, wackos in the trans community have been gender bending public bathrooms for years and getting away with it. Distasteful as it may be, most mean no harm and complete their forays into the forbidden zone undetected. These folks are not the problem.

What has “straight” society up in arms is that somebody with dirty deeds in mind can invade formerly forbidden territory by simply declaring they have decided to change gender.

Society had a chance fifty years ago to get a handle on another social problem, and they blew it. I’m talking about driving while intoxicated (DWI). We know what a successful trip from point “a” to point “b” looks like, no wrecks, no injuries, no deaths and no substantial traffic violations. Think about it, a driver with a trail of violations, wrecks, death, and destruction or any combination and the odor of alcoholic beverages on his breath is incapable of operating a motor vehicle safely. This has been demonstrated by observed behavior, the level of alcohol in the breath or blood sample is meaningless.

So let’s focus on behavior. We know what a trans sex is, it is unchanging. He/she is going to tell us long and loud what their claimed gender is. We know what appropriate behavior is in various venues restricted by sex. Let’s prosecute those individuals who by their behavior use gender as a subterfuge.

A person commits an offense if he/she/it intentionally or knowingly enters premises generally segregated by sex by claiming a gender identity to gain entry. While on the premises the offender with the intent to obtain sexual gratification or to commit an offense commits an act that would lead a reasonable person to conclude that entry was gained fraudulently and with intent to deceive any person.

A first offense is a third-degree felony, unless the offender has been previously convicted of a sex crime, or is listed on the sex offender registry in which case it is a first-degree felony. If the offense involves a child as defined in this code, upon conviction the sentence is life without the possibility of parole.

Offenders convicted under this section will be incarcerated based on their DNA and chromosomes. Offenders are not eligible for gender reassignment surgery or similar treatment at state expense. The offender may appeal the treatment decision to a specially designated board.

The make-up of the board. The offender may select a therapist; other board members will be selected by the prosecuting District Attorney and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. For the offender to prevail the decision of the board must be unanimous.
