Summary

Marcy Rheintgen, a 20-year-old transgender college student, was arrested at the Florida State Capitol after intentionally entering a women’s restroom in protest of the state’s transgender bathroom law.

Civil rights lawyers say it is the first known arrest under such laws in any U.S. state.

Rheintgen faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge and could face up to 60 days in jail.

Florida is one of only two states to criminalize such acts.

        Groomed is the term I would use.

        They tried it on me. It didn’t stick.

          Cult brainwashing. Imagine if someone worshipped a guy named Bob in the same way people worship Jesus. People’d think they’re insane.
