The solution for supportive businesses if this were to pass is to ban cis people from their bathrooms
1. Terrible news for trans people in Idaho.
The state's House just passed one of the first private business bathroom bans in the United States.
It allows you to sue any private business that lets trans people pee if you think they're in the wrong bathroom.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.
"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.

Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

If you need someone who isn't trans to confirm this, the 20thC has decades of academic research papers with psychiatrists and therapists bemoaning that trans people simply won't stop being trans. Not electric shocks, psychotherapeutic gaslighting, even Exorcism.

perhaps obvious but as trans folks who spent our childhoods closeted will know, alllllllllll the pressure in the world can't change what you *are*.
If kids are allowed to express themselves too young, they might not end up growing up to be cisgender, and we think we might be able to pressure it out of them if we start early, goes the logic. We might be able to put them on the "correct natural trajectory" by inhibiting their preferred expression

Want to have a little fun when reading about LLM bullshit? As you go, mentally replace every instance of "LLM" or "AI" or whatever with "RNG" (Random Number Generator). It's just as accurate!
e.g. "Anthropic CEO Says RNG Could Replace Software Engineers in 6 to 12 Months"

For our U.S. readers, this shit right here is why there can be NO COMPROMISE on trans rights - not sports, not bathrooms, not clothing, not names, not BCs. NOTHING! Whatever 'bone' you throw to genitally-obsessed bigots will never be enough. I will not vote for concession on basic human rights.
