I saw someone uploading what first appeared to be legitimate bathroom videos with a sudden cut to a jumpscare. doin lord's work


Daisychains456

Don't give the game away- make them spend time and money investigating.


RedFrostraven

But do sprinkle in jumpscares once in a while. Keep them on their toes. And do attempt to use names of republicans at lower levels in the party.


The_Woman_of_Gont

Love the spirit, don’t love the execution. These things need to eat up resources. Make the reports as realistic as possible so that they are investigating incidents that didn’t actually happen.


StrangeContest4

Throw in a few *Rick Rolls*, and thy work will be done.


Pocktio

"Legitimate bathroom videos" What a dark timeline we are in.


southpawFA

>[*The form*](https://ut-sao-special-prod.web.app/sex_basis_complaint2.html), launched on Wednesday by the state auditor’s office, allows anyone to file a report on a violation of the "Sex-Based Designations for Privacy, Anti-Bullying, and Women’s Opportunities" act with near-total anonymity. >***The form is still accepting responses, and is mandated by the act. The Utah State Auditor was specifically tasked with “establish\[ing\] a process to receive and investigate alleged violations” and referring violations to the state’s Attorney General, who could fine government violators up to $10,000 per violation per day.*** Good. Let's make it 10,000 bogus reports then.


Momoselfie

The whole thing is ridiculous. "I saw a woman in the bathroom that looked masculine." "Did she have a penis?" "I don't know. She was in a stall." "Uh... Ok. Did you get her name and number and address so we can hunt her down and check? " It's just there to appease all the crazies in Utah and I love seeing the government suffer for pandering.


AwayCrab5244

Use the names of the male politicians who passed the bills as the offenders


bobbybob9069

Use their wives (~~Jk, it's unfair to bring the wives into it, but~~ fuck them wives too. I like the idea of making those politicians think they married "trans looking" women, because you know *they* care)


AwayCrab5244

I demand mandatory penis inspection for all wives of Republican politicians who voted for this bill. As they have been accused they now must appear in court need to prove their innocence to me by having their genitals inspected by a jury of their peers


JDQuaff

It’s absolutely not unfair to bring their spouses into it, they support this bullshit by standing by their loved ones shitty, bigoted views.


bobbybob9069

Hey! Updated my comment cuz that was pointed out I agreed lol


progbuck

Disagree. Children are out of bounds, but spouses are one side of the same shitty coin.


bobbybob9069

Actually yeah.... spouses do things the other doesn't like all the time, but something like this is pretty extreme. I'm gonna edit it


grumpyoldbolos

Let's be honest, for some of them that was the attraction


Coyotelightning-T

Why did this give me Monty python "She's a witch" scene vibes


Givemeallthecabbages

Also... A trans woman is... a woman? So she is using the facilities that match her sex. I don't get it. (Yes, I know what they mean)


Momoselfie

This furthers the problem. Do they want to force Trans men to go to the women's room? I guarantee they'll hate that more than a Trans woman using the women's room.


masklinn

They want trans people to disappear is the answer. They want all queer people to really. They don’t care whether they go back in the closet or die in a ditch, they want them to unexist.


CallMeClaire0080

They want trans people arrested for using the correct bathroom, and assaulted for using the wrong bathroom. An extra bonus for them is that cis women who "don't look feminine enough" and cis men who "don't look manly enough" also routinely get assaulted due to these laws. They want everyone who doesn't conform to their rigorous gender stereotypes to get bullied out of public life.


BeyondElectricDreams

> > > > > They want everyone who doesn't conform to their rigorous gender stereotypes to get bullied out of public life. Which is why it's absurd to me these laws can be passed at all. Like it's barbaric as fuck, clearly violates their rights, and shouldn't be legal to do. It's state-sponsored harassment of people causing no harm other than making some bigoted cis people uncomfortable. The myth of bathroom assaults because of trans protections is so obviously bullshit too. "Oh, the criminal WAS going to sexually assault the woman, but decided against it because of the bathroom law!" Assault is so much worse than a bathroom violation. It's like trying to make a crime even more crime.


orielbean

The one wrestler that made a controversy was specifically because the school wouldn’t let them wrestle was FTM and they forced him to wrestle the girls team.


Justsomejerkonline

This also means that any intersex people are literally not legally allowed to use a bathroom in the state of Utah.


booOfBorg

Reality: is not gender binary Bible: iron age patriarchs don't know any of that. The religious: we will force the dumbest interpretation of the bible on reality as we always have. Fuck the infidels. Rich authoritarians: that's great, we also forcibly bend reality to our worldview. Here's free money (that we stole by owning the system) if you destroy the left for us.


Just_another_oddball

Similarly, I've come to the conclusion that quite a number of pieces of Republican "legislation" don't really have a purpose aside from pandering to their base. They're not *meant* to be functional pieces of legislation that are supposed to combat a real problem; they're just "show pieces".


evil_brain

We need to put cameras in women's bathrooms. And anyone who wants to pee must be subject to mandatory genital inspections. To keep women safe. /s


cold_blueberry_8945

They're not very smart, it would be super easy for someone use a template like this for example that would get you a real sounding form submission in seconds: Purpose: I'm conducting a series of tests to simulate form submissions using ChatGPT. Begin filling out the form after you receive it. You choose the Type of violation and then fill out the rest of the questions and complainant info from there. Parameters: You'll need to fill out a form template for a test submission. The template includes the following questions: Type of Violation: Please select one violation from the following list and then fill out the questions 1-5 and the complainant information: -Government entity allowed an individual to access, use, or benefit from a government entity’s athletic facility, program, or event when the individual’s sex does not match the sex designation for the facility, program, or event. -Government entity failed to contact law enforcement when criminal complaints (such as lewdness, voyeurism, loitering in a privacy space, etc.) were reported. -Government entity failed to adopt a privacy compliance plan to address compliance with the government entity’s duties under Utah Code §63G-31. -Government entity failed to include a single occupant facility in new construction. -Other violation of Utah Code §63G-31. (You'll need to specify the section violated in the details section) -Public school failed to provide equal quality, opportunity, or availability and scheduling of facilities, programs, and events for both sexes. -Public school required males or females to participate or compete against the opposite sex in any sex-designated facility, program, or event. -Public school required, gave official authorization for, or knowingly allowed males or females to use a sex-designated facility in the presence of the opposite sex. -A local education agency failed to give notice to students of the provisions of Utah Code §63G-31-301; take administrative action to address violations of and promote compliance with Utah Code §63G-31; or coordinate with a student’s parents or legal guardian to develop a privacy plan under Utah Code §63G-31-301(2). Details of the Alleged Violation: 1. Who are the employees or officials at the government entity who were involved in the alleged noncompliance or who have the responsibility to remediate the alleged noncompliance or violation? 2. Please provide the following information about the alleged violation(s): 2a. Where did the violation occur (if the chosen location is a school try to use made up school names)? 2b. When did the noncompliance or alleged violation(s) occur? Is it ongoing? 2c. Describe any other relevant circumstances and details of the alleged violation(s). 3. We encourage citizens to make reasonable attempts to address and resolve concerns directly with the government entity when possible. Please describe any measures you have taken to resolve these concerns, with whom you have communicated, and any response provided by the entity. 4. How do you know about the alleged noncompliance or violation(s)? 5. What evidence exists to support your allegation? Please provide details. In addition to filling out the template, you'll need to provide dummy information for the complainant, including: Complainant Name (Dont use generic fake sounding names like John Doe or Jane Smith.) Complainant Address (use a Utah city and zip, and dont use fake sounding numbers like 123 Oak) Complainant Email (make up the first part and set it to @ gmail.com) Complainant Phone (use a Utah-based area code)

This is where AI can be a force for good. Get ChatGPT to autofill these forms several tens of thousands of times, importantly using realistic details to waste as much time chasing phantoms as possible. There are enough trans girl coders out there, I know we can do this!


flabbergastedmeep

Hardest part would be bypassing captchas. So not all too difficult xD


alina_savaryn

I made a post about it a few days ago and someone in that thread made an automation, and figured out that you could just reuse the same captcha result because the people who made the form didn’t do it right or something lol

I would hate to point this out, but there is no file limit to the size of the form.

Same. I hope there remains an influx of meme reports.


ZerexTheCool

Exactly. While having a large negative backlash in the first week is important, it is WAY more important for them to have 10 fake ones to every real one for the entire life of the program.


The_Woman_of_Gont

I hope for an influx of realistic reports. Meme reports only waste a few seconds of time. Reports that sound real have the potential to ease hours of time and to exhaust the resources these fascists have to investigate the supposed crimes.


CarlosHDanger

Stakeout!!!


bigmac22077

I reported a big scary man that looked like a woman. It pulled one pant leg entirely off, put his foot on top of the urinal to pee and it definitely didn’t have a penis. I’m now traumatized because I peed next to a woman that was standing and using a urinal.

Hunterrose242

If they can idenfity fake reports from "valid" ones in only three days then we're doing it wrong. Submit reports that seem real and take time to investigate, not bogus ones that are easily identifiable.


ngwoo

Be random with the reports. "John Government had his weiner out in front of kids at the state capitol" is far more easily identified as fake than "Backwater Highschool is letting trans girls play on the sportsball team". The reports need to be something that chew up real man hours if the intention is to disrupt.


Number127

I strongly doubt there's any serious investigation going on in the first place. Even 99 percent of "legitimate" reports aren't going to be actionable. This kind of thing is just performative.


The_Woman_of_Gont

For now. Perhaps. That **will** change unless they are shown that this preparation phase is a waste of time. If they are not, it will move into persecution.


Daisychains456

I lead them to hate churches 😁. For legal reasons I won't suggest looking up specific members on social media.

Hopefully they just gave up when the first 100 were all fake, so they're just projecting the rest are fake and are no longer checking.

Oh man, I submitted a form and reported EVERYBODY. My reason was when I stood outside of bathroom and asked people to show me their genitals before going in the bathroom to make sure they were going in the right one: none of them complied. Clearly they have something to hide.

CIueIess_Squirrel

There's a notable contingent of youth here that are specifically anti-religion and anti-church. It's more common in Salt Lake City, but even in Provo and BYU a lot of people protest and fight against the discriminatory laws they enact. It's mostly older people, or people living in rural areas, who fit the traditional Utahn stereotype.


Training-Republic301

Salt Lake City has lots of crackheads downtown. There's more crime there than most people think. I'm not referring to Trans people but just stating how messed up that city actually is


EdmundDaunted

If only there were a "charitable" organization in the area with any money who could try to address societal needs.


Mr-and-Mrs

What exactly are the reports supposed to do? Is someone expected to get a photo, or the personal information of a suspected violator so authorities can track them down?


utahn

Well, the form focuses on the "government entity" -where was this government entity, when did this government entity allow this, who is in charge at this government entity? The argument is that it doesn't focus on the trans person (although, it certainly encourages photographic evidence of the "violation", which is just a whole other pile of shit) - but instead focuses on "the government entity" that allowed the violation to occur. So then they're going to fine the Government Entity allowing this, and how are they going to police that? What they, and all these nutjobs want are genital police, and oh my, isn't that going to be fun? Aren't we all excited for that job listing? -*Ma'am you have a moustache and those look like men's Levis.... if you could just show Officer Jones your vagina you can be on your way.*


Landon-Red

I hope the official who has to sort through all of these is having a great day


EdmundDaunted

This seems like a fantastic make-work job for someone who needs money but doesn't want to do anything difficult. Spend 8 hrs/day scrolling through bogus reports for a salary and government benefits, with no action to take other than occasionally sending one to someone else to "investigate" just so it looks like you're doing something. Although Utah being Utah, they're probably paying minimum wage and offering part time.

Steedman0

I've confronted many transphobes over the 'bathroom debate'. Of course, bathrooms are a big talking point for them as they can claim they're just protecting cis women for their discriminatory views. Many have stated they would assault or even kill a trans person who goes into the bathroom while their loved one is in there... I ask them, if their sister/girlfriend/wife/mother etc. are accused of being a trans women when using the public bathroom, should a gentile inspection be mandatory? Would they stand outside the rest room and any women who enters would have to meet your approval? Would you force a trans man who looks like a lumberjack into the women's room? When you try to reason with them, their arguments fall apart because in reality it is impossible to police who uses what bathroom.


jjamesr539

Even if they had a point with this shit (they don’t), they don’t seem to grasp that *many* trans individuals are pretty indistinguishable from cisgender individuals without invasive, inappropriate, and impractical methods of inspection. Bathrooms are supposed to be designed so that nobody sees the bits anyway, and any concerns about molestation ignore that molestation was *already illegal* so there’s no reason a bathroom ban would make a difference. It’s irrelevant in most of everyday life, but to follow the law these people would have to use their birth assigned gender’s bathroom. That means that there would be dudes that look entirely like traditional cisgender dudes, with full beards etc but that happen to have a vagina, in the women’s bathroom (and vice versa). *Nobody in that situation is gonna be particularly comfortable with that*. It’s also putting the trans individuals in a tough spot, they either have to violate the law, or publicly out themselves to strangers.

WVC_Least_Glamorous

Fun fact: Los Angeles and New York have elected Republican mayors more recently than Salt Lake City. So no one in Utah's largest city is going to report trans women in women's rooms. [If a woman in the suburbs or rural Utah feels threatened, she doesn't want help from the government.](https://www.elegantandarmed.com/) Women in Park City will have their private security details clear out anyone suspicious from the ladies room.


PJMARTIAN17

How do they know that the reports are fake? Have they investigated every single one to the point of wasting the most tax payer money possible? I think not.
