    Out of curiosity what’s their fine for regular public indecency, like, urinating in an alley? I’d imagine it’s literally cheaper for a trans person there to piss on the side of city hall than it is a regular god damn restroom

    What an awful little shitville

      Maybe that’s their plan, to get trans people on the sex offender list because they peed in public.

      I think it’s illegal in some countries to deny someone to pee.

      When I lived in Texas, urinating in public was a potential misdemeanor crime, but was also a affirmative defense against public indecency. One of the few statutes in Texas that actually made sense.

      The penalties for peeing in public in Texas can range from fines of up to $500 to facing charges that might lead to community service or even a short jail term, depending on the circumstances and whether other offenses are involved. The variance in these penalties is due to factors such as the offender’s intent, location of the act, prior offenses, and any additional disruptive behavior associated with the incident.

      That said, baring yourself in some alley may expose you to dangers other than the cops.
