The “bathroom police” are on the job against… ops.
This is what the trans community has been saying, how can you enforce any bathroom law, what are you going to do, have an officer placed outside of each bathroom checking all IDs? Or are you just going to check those women who do not look womanly enough and that would create embarrassment if you ask a woman for her ID. Also it would create all types of legal entanglements by picking and choosing who you are going to question.

A woman who says she was mistaken for a man while trying to use the women's restroom at Fishbone's Rhythm Kitchen Cafe in January has filed a lawsuit against the Detroit eatery, claiming she was injured when a security officer physically ejected her from the restaurant.
Detroit resident Cortney Bogorad said in the lawsuit filed Wednesday in Wayne County Circuit Court that the incident happened about 11 p.m. on Jan. 23 after she and some of her friends ate dinner at Fishbone's in Greektown.

Bogorad is suing the restaurant for "whatever amount above $25,000," to which she is found to be entitled on eight separate counts, ranging from civil rights violations to intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Bogorad said after she paid for her food, she went to use the women's restroom prior to leaving the restaurant, and while she was in the bathroom, she heard someone shout: "Whatever man is in the restroom, come out now!"

The guard carried her to the front of the restaurant and physically threw her out onto Monroe Street, Bogorad said. Her upper torso was exposed to all of the patrons that were sitting inside the restaurant.
"... In the process she sustained physical damages including contusions, wrist injuries, shoulder injuries and scarring which required medical treatment," the lawsuit stated. "As a direct and proximate result of the defendants' wrongful acts, plaintiff not only suffered physical damages, but suffered severe embarrassment, humiliation, shock and mental and emotional distress and anguish."
