Caitlyn Jenner believes that recent so-called “bathroom laws” will make the LGBT community and everyone else less safe.

On Friday Jenner wrote a blog post about states like North Carolina that have recently passed laws that prevent transgender people from using bathrooms that don’t match their biological sex.  

But Jenner notes in states and cities that have passed laws designed to protect transgender people, “there have been no increases in public safety incidents”.

Then he asks and answers why this is, “because there are laws in every state which make it illegal for anyone to enter a restroom to harm or harass people, or invade their privacy. Police use those laws to arrest perpetrators and keep people safe,” the blog notes.

The post goes on to say “We all want safety and privacy in public bathrooms. But these anti-LGBT bills, like the ones in North Carolina and Mississippi, actually make us less safe, not more safe.”

He adds, “They open the door to abuse, aggressive and confrontational behavior in bathrooms, and encourage strangers to demand that women and girls prove that they are actually female in order to use the restroom. No one wants that.”
