There are alread laws in place to protect everyone from lewd and lascivious behavior in public restrooms.  You don't need any more laws to give you "peace of mind" unless you just have an irrational fear of being in the same public restroom with a transgender.

The only point of these new "Bathroom Bills" is to punish transgenders, who are potentially victims of harassment and/or acts of violence from being forced to use the wrong public restroom, without doing ANYTHING to give people like you and more "peace of mind".  There is nothing irrational about the fear transgenders have of being forced to use the wrong public restroom.

When you balance an irrational fear of being in the same restroom with a transgender against the rational fear of possible harassment and/or acts of physical violence it is pretty easy to see which one is more important in shaping public policy.

So yes there are laws in place to punish those that assault anyone in a bathroom. The "new law" was passes by Charlotte. The state simply reacted to this. It is really quite simple: Males go into the men's room,  female's go into the ladies' room. No one in either facility is allowed to act up for any reason. That's the way it has been. Making it legal for males to go into ladies' room is going to do absolutely nothing to stop those that would break the law. The new laws are for peace of mind only. Some thing the minority deserve peace of mind over the majority.
