While North Carolinians wait for HB2 to be repealed, a Wyoming legislator is looking to duplicate the divisive law in his own state.

Roy Edwards, a Republican representative from Gillette, Wyoming, is drafting legislation that would make people use public bathrooms and other facilities that match the gender assigned to them at birth.

“I’ve had it [in] mind ever since the problem started happening when people of the other sex thought they could enter into the bathroom of the opposite sex,” Edwards told the Star-Tribune. “There’s people that walk into the wrong bathroom and realize it and walk back out, but that’s not the problem."

Edwards admits he's never heard of any trans people assaulting or harassing people in Wyoming bathrooms, but insists that, without his proposed law, a man could enter the women’s room and spy on females.

“Whatever their original birth certificate has, they need to be in that restroom,” he explained. “That is the only way I can do a dividing line with it—other than having it where they do a DNA test.”

Sara Burlingame of Equality Wyoming says while she doesn't think Edwards is trying to be malevolent, a law like his could easily be used to harass transgender people.

Burlingame says she asked Edwards why he wasn't authoring a bill to stop all sexual predators in all bathrooms, including barring men from harassing men and boys in men's rooms.

He reportedly told her “God will sort them out.”

Ironically, Wyoming's nickname is the Equality State—it was the first in the nation to allow women to vote, serve on juries and run for office.
