South Carolina law regulates bathroom use in public schools and universities

[Maximum Overkill]

SOUTH CAROLINA (WSPA) — South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster signed a bill Friday that regulates which restrooms students can use.

Under House Bill 4756, or the South Carolina Student Physical Privacy Act, public school and university students are required to use bathrooms and locker rooms based on their sex assigned at birth.

LMAO…you think progressives are pushing the trans bathroom stuff because they care about a tiny sliver of the population with mental illness?  It’s a small issue to small minded people.

They aren’t pushing anything. It’s only republicans passing bathroom bills. 

Try watching anything other than right-wing media and tell me if transgender people get mentioned even once in a month. It’s an insane obsession on the right, that they project onto others instead of admitting it.

Sure.  We can follow the time line back to 2016 at least when Obamas DOJ thought it was such a small issue that they threatened federal funding if colleges didn’t let men in women’s restrooms.  And the whole debacle where NC republicans, out of thin air, brought the bathroom bill forward and they moved the NCAA events from North Carolina?  Oh wait, that was direct response to Charlotte passing an ordinance allowing men in women’s restrooms.  
If you don’t realize that, historically, republicans’ “obsessions” with culture war are born from liberals attack on the status quo, I don’t know what to tell you.  But, then again, nobody really gives a fuk about trans people and their wants.  It’s just another way to destabilize norms and seize power.

Yeah, dogcows ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.  He's the perfect liberal - do and say what your plantation masters tell you and don't question.

Jim Jones could only wish he had as many zealots as the Democrat Plantation does.

"Sex assigned at birth" is not a real definition. It is the preferred parlance for left wing trans activists, in this instance NBC News. Sex isn't "assigned" at birth and that phrase does not appear in this legislation.

Here's a cut and paste directly from the relevant state law:

 "Sex" means a person's biological sex, either male or female, as observed or clinically verified at birth.

https://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess126_2025-2026/bills/4756.htm

Sex can be "observed" or "clinically verified", never "assigned" at birth.

Do these people not have Daughters or Women they care about in their lives? 

@dogcows @Caine Mutiny @Fnord

There is absolutely NO scenario where a mentally ill Man should be sharing a private space with any Woman. 

Libs, please logically explain how this is acceptable to you.

Exactly.  Manipulation of language is a hallmark of leftist propaganda.

Another good reason to avoid the south, I guess. 

Over the years while out at bars or clubs I've experienced times when there's a line for the men's pisser but not for the women's. I'm talking about private bathrooms here, one person at a time, not large ones meant for multiple people.

I've had to pee badly enough that I've used the women's restroom if it's empty and seen plenty of other dudes do the same. If a gal comes along, obviously they get priority seating. I can now get arrested for that in South Carolina? WEAK. What a stupid ass state.

Hard to believe but in year 2026 we are arguing about men sharing bathrooms with women.  I mean where and when did this whole situation go awry?

It's unreal that we're actually having this conversation. I can't fathom why any Man would be ok with it, unless you're a perv or hate Women. 

There's absolutely no other excuse. I seriously hope that @Fnord doesn't have a daughter. God only knows how that would go.

I'm curious, if the owner/manager of the establishment had a problem with it at the time you were doing it would you take issue with them telling you to stop using the wrong bathroom?

So? You don’t see anything about black crime on your media either. Just because you’re spoon fed like a child doesn’t mean the rest of us are.

When Republicans got obsessed with transgender people.

And when did that happen? When Fox and social media agitators started pushing this at them constantly.

Republicans may appear to be obsessed with trans people, but the left uses them as a pawn. Trans-people I have talked to IRL are getting sick of their issues being used to push leftist agendas.

I'l also make a comment on things being "pushed" constantly; the trans community has asked that language be changed, grammar rules be changed, men want to play in women's sports that negates so much progress that women have made (Title 9)...I mean...you cannot sit here and mention the obsession and "pushing" without addressing the entire picture.

Youre on Tim level and cant be taken seriously.  Having a reaction to trans activism isn’t “obsession”, its rational response to irrational demands.  Nobody gave a fuk, and still dont, what a mentally ill adult does to their body.  The issue started when demands were made, in order to gain social currency, for regular people to live their delusion with them.

Avoid the south in order to avoid standing in line at 1 person restrooms?  Lol.  This post sounds so ridiculous.

Libs not all that long ago would say no duh to this.  And think its ridiculous to even have this discussion.  

Today, they have a different opinion... suddenly.  What changed?  Well they certainly didnt all arrive there by themselves.  The progressives run that show.  They have been shamed into submission.  Its a sad reality.   Anything for a few virtue points and to avoid being called a name.  So they lower their heads and fall in line.

It clearly says public schools and universities. Be nice if FNord would read. You’ll be ok unless you want to go to the bathroom with the JV softball team. I personally don’t think you should be allowed to. Call me nuts.

Jeez man, it was just a joke. My disdain for the south is rooted in hicks and hot weather. Of course there's hicks everywhere and most of them are decent folks, so it's really about the weather and a preference for the desert over an outdoor sauna.

I know this happened in the 2010’s.

2010s: The "Transgender Tipping Point"

• Cultural explosion: Activists and celebrities like Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner brought trans issues to mainstream magazine covers and television.2

Depathologization: The World Health Organization officially removed transgender identities from its list of mental illnesses.

Sure. But then we get into the gnarly mess of what's okay for a private company to do is not necessarily okay for the government to do. Covid vax comes to mind.
