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.

No. No. I think it is you who is the uneducated one. The one without critical literacy or a lens to see the enactment of fascism. Germany was not the first or the last, and this is just another rise to the idea of fascism.
