(62,444 posts)It is quite clear that you do not understand how law works, because there is nothing in there about "interpretation of the law".
In order to determine that a law is discriminatory, then it is not required to "solve" some unrelated hypothetical.
Why don't you sit down and write a non-discriminatory law about keeping creepy people, of any gender identity, out of the showers.
It is not the job of ANYONE in the legal system to write laws. That is the job of a legislature. However, when a law is discriminatory, then it gets struck down regardless of whether it had some "benefit" under some hypothetical set of facts.
Again, if the state of North Carolina banished all Muslims from the state of North Carolina, and was effectively enforced, then it is pretty much certain there would be no Islamic terrorism there (not that there's been any, mind you).
That's a discriminatory law.
You do not then come back and say, "Okay, then how would they prevent Islamic terrorists from setting off bombs in Asheville?"
The primary impact and burden of this law is on an identifiable class of people who are doing NOTHING WRONG. It is a discriminatory law. If you want to have a law requiring partitions and curtains in public shower facilities, then your problem is solved WITHOUT having to shit on an entire class of law abiding people.
Do you see how that works?
