The bounty defines biological sex based on birth certificates, either at the time of birth or corrected if there was a clerical error.

What if you were born intersex? The story talks about the lack of provisions for disabled persons. There are so many holes in this ordinance. It is so going to get thrown out in court.

Can someone explain what this headline was supposed to say? The grammar is... Confusing.

It has a typo, of should be on. $10,000 bounty on trans people’s heads.

A bounty on trans people? So I get paid by the state to catch 'em and turn 'em in so they can be issued their 'up to $500 fine'? How cost ineffective.

Ah, it's misinformation and done so poorly, in an attempt to dramatise, they used the wrong word.

So, the $10,000 is actually for lawsuits and can start there if anyone found guilty of the crime had also caused damages. That's very normal for laws of people being somewhere they've been told not to be and damaging stuff. Like if I break the toilet seat I'm standing on while peering over the top of the cubicle to watch you pee.

It's articles like this that do not help a cause at all.

It can only be assumed this works in favour of anyone on that 5-2 vote that doesn't like trans people. If that's the case then it should be attacking gender identity issues for bathroom use, not trespass laws started in 1989 using binaries. (Yes, in an effort to get the actual information, I read other actual news articles)
