There are plenty of crimes. If you used a male toilet you would likely get a voyeurism charge or maybe even indecent exposure. You could then claim to be a gender bender to skip the charge. This law will prevent you from doing so (i.e. it's more of a stop gap to deal with modern immorality which did not need legislation in the past).
Disgusting law, just like the LGBT...

the statement was made that there is nothing in the bible about not being gay basically. that argument is false. don't change the argument to suit your agenda just because the original argument was completely false.
I am in no way religious. I was only stating easily found facts.
There is no Bad RNG just Bad LTP
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the testaments of Jesus christ take precedence over the old testament? That's the reason why you're allowed to wear clothes with more than a single color on them and eat shrimp. The only thing Jesus said you can't eat are figs.

That's not what I asked. So clearly, the simple act of relieving yourself in the 'wrong' facility isn't illegal. It doesn't make any of those laws more or less legal, but catches a particular group for no conceivable reason other than pure discrimination. It doesn't seem to be difficult to pick up homosexuals for committing those crimes without needing to use the 'wrong' bathroom, so I just don't see the "loophole" it's trying to close.
By all accounts as well, from trans people who pass incredibly well, is that it causes a lot of confusion and awkwardness when they use their "birth toilets". :s
It's a hard thing to do when the objections boil down to a religious argument though. My point is that it isn't even something important to the belief structure as a whole and is basically being selective with the it's morality.
We probably should not be talking about religion, you're right, but is there any justification of allowing the ability to discriminate against a fairly large portion of the population without using a religious arguement in this case?

Transgender is another issue, but I still disagree that it is in any way a dangerous law or precedent. We can postulate what-if scenarios are day, but honestly none are likely to occur any more often than they already do. I honestly don't think restrooms need to be segregated at all. It would cut down wait time for women and give more stalls for men. And in the average men's restroom, I assure you that nobody wants to talk to strangers in there. It's not a hub of harassment, mostly just guys wanted to get in and back to whatever they were doing before without making eye contact.
