The form lets people reporting trans bathroom users submit up to 5 photos even though taking pictures in restrooms is illegal.

Texas’ virulently anti-trans attorney general, Ken Paxton ®, has launched a tip line that allows people to report on suspected trans people they believe are violating the state’s new bathroom ban.

In a statement announcing the tip line, Paxton said the Texas Women’s Privacy Act – which requires people in public buildings to use bathrooms based on sex assigned at birth – “was passed to ensure that women and girls in Texas are protected from mentally ill men wanting to violate their basic right to privacy.”

“It’s absolute insanity that action like this is even needed,” he claimed, “but unfortunately, in the day and age of radical leftism, it is.”

In reality, research has shown no evidence that allowing trans women access to single-sex spaces like bathrooms poses a safety risk to cisgender women.

    I have (unfortunately) way too many family connections to the right, and that’s their way to “cuck the left”. They claim “the left” has gone too far to force them to cede grounds on things one by one. In fact they’re advising new recruits to imagine, that:

    • liberals have banned christianity,
    • liberal secret police have murdered their family members without trial,
    • the moderate liberals are secretly worshipping Stalin, Satan, some infamous pedophile, etc., then to treat the opposition accordingly.
