Utah's bathroom snitch line hasn't found one legitimate complaint out of 12,000
Utah's anti-transgender bathroom snitch line has gotten over 12,000 complaints — only five were investigated, and none turned up anything.
Music to my ear and I wonder how much it costed them to comb through all of that.
Fun fact, costed is a word but has a slightly different meaning than the way you have used it.
Costed means to get the details on the cost of something complex. Like "I costed the three projects and the last one is cheapest"
You tried to use it as the past tense of cost, but the past tense of cost is also just cost.
Fun fact, 'cost' is a regular verb in Canadian English. Infering from the lemmy.ca instance, the comment op might be a Canadian, which means the usage of 'costed' is correct.
People should keep submitting fake reports, and make them somewhat plausible. Just so they don’t get instantly discarded and can actually tie up more resources by actually getting investigated.
This is something an LLM is actually very useful for. It can make it sound both legitimate, be verbose and generate many submissions with little human effort.
The employment of a large language model, such as the one utilized in this scenario, can prove to be remarkably advantageous. It possesses the remarkable capacity to transform the provided text into multiple submissions that convey an aura of authenticity, while adhering to the principle of verbosity. This approach allows for the generation of a substantial quantity of content with a minimal investment of human resources and effort.
Engaging the services of an advanced language model represents a highly valuable asset in this particular context. Such models exhibit the remarkable ability to reformulate the given input in a manner that not only maintains an air of legitimacy but also embraces the principle of verbosity. This capability enables the effortless generation of numerous unique submissions, thereby optimizing the utilization of human resources.
The utilization of a large-scale language model in this scenario can be deemed a highly effective and efficient approach. These sophisticated systems possess the remarkable aptitude to transform the provided text into multiple submissions that uphold a sense of legitimacy and authenticity, while simultaneously adhering to the principles of verbose and detailed expression. This approach allows for the generation of a substantial volume of content with a minimal investment of human effort and involvement.
Worth noting, Russia agrees very much and is flooding social media in a very similar way. The LLM makes it more effective now than in 2016
But like, how would they even investigate them? That's the part I don't understand. Whoever was peeing in there, they're gone by the time the cops show up. It doesn't take that long to pee.
Can we submit on a website? I can submit a million per day
Here you go, but it appears to be down at the moment.
only five were investigated
Can one sue Utah for gross neglience now? I mean, they got thousands of complaints from concerned citizens, and they only cared for investigating five of them? Or do they profile those complaints into "we are not investigating certain types of people", e.g. politicians that have been reported?
I want to know how they "investigate" this bullshit. This is a complete waste of tax payers money...but since it's from the party of small gov. And saving money its ok cause we have to know who's got what equipment and going into what bathrooms.
All business's should just swap all their signs over to unisex and be done with this bullshit.
This is a complete waste of tax payers money
A lot of those rulings are. But this would be fun to exploit to the bottom just to make it really hurt.
They review hundred of hours of hidden toilet cam footage. How else would you investigate?
It's only 5 so far, reading the Bee Movie script takes a long time, especially when they have to keep stopping to sound out every other word.
They gave up at "aerodynamic"
Well, a huge chunk of those probably came from patriotic LGBT+ citizens cramming the reports with junk. Which is a good thing to do, but we wouldn't expect them to do more than a cursory check.

Of course. But they opened that snitchline with so much fanfare and claimed people using the "wrong" bathroom the end of the world. And then they only investigate five out of 12k reports. Now that sounds lame even for Republicans. What if they opened a snitchline on corrupt politicians? Will they only investigate five cases out of 12k reports? Such a snitchline would be much more important for society than reporting people using the wrong door. But chances are that they won't open such a line for a number of reasons...
Hey us allies helped out as well. I sent them my Fight Club Fan fiction.
This is outrageous. They're not even going to attempt to investigate my report about an alien beaming into the bathroom and touching my peepee? Just for that, I'm filing 10 more complaints.
Which bathroom tho
The humans' bathroom.
Gayliens.
Just to make up for that grevious lack of action about your case, I think we should ALL file reports about those alien peepee touchers until it gets the attention it deserves.
I mean, bathrooms are the most important thing in the world and despite it being a very modern contrivance, making sure the right people are using the right machines to whisk their poopies and pee away is critical for the survival of our species. We have to defend this noble institution against the alien peepee touchers! MAKE THEM LISTEN!
I’m struck by the fact that as a trans woman I look more cis than some women I know who’ve given birth. I’m actually worried about a cis friend of mine if we ever get bathroom laws here.
I've been trying to explain to my less enlightened family for years that requiring a trans man to use the women's bathroom only makes it easier for men to just walk in since having a beard and a dad bod no longer means you have to use the men's room.
These laws just don't make any sense and can only make whatever they are afraid of (men hearing their wives and daughters tinkle, apparently) worse.
That's what has always stumped me. They do realize that trans men look like... men. Right? Like, they want some dude to just stroll into the women's bathroom? Like, legally want that dude to be forced to stroll into that women's bathroom?!?
The dude doesn't want to be in there. Women don't want the dude to be in there. Why do these politicians want the dude to be in there?!
I've been saying that for a while. Not only does this open up many trans women to additional harassment, it also opens it up to any cis woman someone decides looks too masculine to be a "real" woman.
Based on that numbers it will be mostly cis woman who get harassed. There have been plenty of cases of it already. There was a few big ones in my state when people complaining that their daughters lost in sport
Conservatism has only ever been about the most superficial of ideals.
Many of them would have no issue at all with extending laws about gender to laws about appearance and I'm not even kidding. We have plenty of examples from right-wing governments and social trends of the past absolutely leaning into ideas like phrenology or inherent, essential qualities that go alongside things like hair and eye color.
You should be concerned for your friend, everyone should be concerned that if allowed to mature, conservatism in the US would throw us right back into a time when people can face legal penalties for what they choose to wear, for how they express themselves, for the shape of their face and a thousand other ways they would want to police the world around them so it continues to look the way they want it to look. And too bad if you don't look like someone who should live in that world.
I would definitely let Utah know that you saw a great many of these people use the "wrong" bathroom:
Only 12000? Those are rookie numbers! Get back to work!
Seriously. This person filed 20,716 complaints about flight path noise pollution in a year. Just one person. I need to see a zero added behind that 12,000 figure, then I'll know at least six people are truly dedicated.
I suppose decades of misandric conditioning would create the opinion that all men, trans or not, are sexual predators and closet perverts. This needs to change.
And misogyny conditions to believe that all women are victims. They really aren't separate forces, they work together.
Eerybody needs feminism.
misandry doesn't real
As long as transwomen sit down when using the loo, they are more than welcome. I'm glad that snitch line drew up nothing. Imagine if they used those funds to fascilitate free hygiene products? But noo, they gotta harass a minority...
Why does sitting matter? I’m honestly asking because I remember my twenties and about half my friends (women) would just hover over the toilet seat. We’re all in our 40s now so I can pretty much drop the percentage to 10% hovering based on complaints about knee pain lol
Editing to add: I’m actually too short to have ever hovered over a toilet seat, I’m not advocating hovering, but that’s not even my point. Splashes can happen for any number of reasons. Y’all want to say only those who sit down should use the women’s bathroom and I’m here to tell you women are just as gross as men in their capacity to urinate onto the seat, regardless of plumbing.
Hovering is just as bad. Because standing causes small deoplets of urine to splash out of the toilet. Not unlike the mist at the bottom of a waterfall. By cleaning the toilet seat and just sitting down, a stall gets nasty slower.
It's fine if the stall is horrible already, but if it's clean, it's better if we keep it that way.
Coed bathrooms at college seemed to work pretty well, and even improved privacy in some ways.
- everyone washed their hands. Nothing like peer pressure to encourage that
- stalls had walls and doors
- urinals had little privacy walls line so many no longer do
So if I’m using a urinal and someone walked in, regardless who they were, all they see is some guy standing there. If someone uses a stall, regardless of who they were , I can probably tell that it’s occupied and maybe judge them for their shoes, but that’s it. What’s the problem?
We had mixed gender bathrooms in highschool, and they were fantastic. Clean, proper bathrooms, not stalls, and the students were responsible for cleaning them + the school weekly, so nobody ever trashed them. (There were two half-hour cleaning sessions each week, with some supplimental janitor help to keep things running smoothly)
Urinals are meant to be used standing. If you piss against the wall at an angle, it won't mess up the place as much. I was talking about the porcelain throne.
Looks like they took the form down. If anyone has a new link, please post it. I've got some creative writing to share with the bigots in Utah.
Damn, ig you missed the party. I shared the link for informational purposes only on a post weeks ago
I'd rather my Tax Dollars go to THAT instead of feeding Starving American Children!
Who cares about if they’re hungry? I just want to talk about their genitalia!!!
Preface: I don't care at all what bathroom anyone uses, just a silly lighthearted comment:
But I do find it a bit funny that the headline mentions 12,000 complaints, but leaves out that only 5 of them were even looked into, lol.
Sensationalism is everywhere, I guess, lol.
Interesting. I inferred that the vast majority were joke complaints to illuminate how absurd the hot line is just by reading the title.
Sensitivity is everywhere, I guess, lol.
I think we need to start breaking the law and self reporting. We'll send in pictures of our junk spewing urine in the wrong room so they'll be sure it's a legitimate complaint.
Call and tell them you found the Golden Tablets.
It turns out that writing "cum" 420 times isn't accepted as legitimate intel.
