all those security cams couldn't find anyone much less a woman with a couple girls being asked to leave the store.
You and REI act ashamed to defend a male, who very well might identify as a female, who was using a women's restroom.
So what's it going to be TB, enforce laws that outlaw males or females/cross dressers/genital mutilated people from using restrooms that don't match their birth sex, or make laws that allow anyone to use a restroom that matches their "
gender identity".
Gender Identity defined:
One's innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither – how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves. One's gender identity can be the same or different from their sex assigned at birth.

From Lambda Legal, which as you know "is the oldest and largest national legal organization whose mission is to achieve full recognition of the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and those with HIV through impact litigation, education and public policy work."
Q: How do you know which bathroom a transgender person should use?
A: A transgender person should use the restroom that corresponds to his or her
gender identity.
Q: What if someone doesn't look masculine or feminine enough to use a particular restroom?
A: There is no rule that a person must look a certain way to use a certain restroom. This kind of “gender policing” is harmful to everyone, whether a transgender person, a butch woman, an effeminate man or anyone dressed or groomed in a way that doesn’t conform to someone else’s gender standards. Moreover, courts have increasingly found that discrimination against transgender people is sex discrimination.

I look forward to your response as to what legislation should reflect:
Lambda Legal's or the lying homophobic bigoted mom's.
