House Bill 446 in Montana establishes two indecent exposure laws: one for the general public that requires intent, and another for trans people that does not.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Who ever heard of inequality in america, seems this passage was walked on pretty quickly after being put to paper.

I didnt say give up but holding up a sign saying we said we wouldnt do this isnt accomplishing much. The constitution hasnt amounted to much.
Hard disagree.
