First, this law was in reaction to the City of Charlotte imposing their own transgender-friendly edict. So there actually was a need for it.

You don't seem to realize you just contradicted yourself. It's not happening, but it's been happening for decades anyway! And the thing you initially say wasn't actually happening...well, it's
actually happening quite often now. If you want, I can link some examples.
And the logic here is just flummoxing. If a man was caught in a women's restroom, status quo is that they would be arrested and charged. So even if it's been happening for decades as you guys claim (which you have NO evidence for), it's been happening
illegally. Charlotte said "No, we can't have that, anyone can use any bathroom or locker room or shower they want, regardless of the obvious consequences." The state came in to reinforce the status quo and protect its citizens and common sense (and SCIENCE!, don't forget SCIENCE!). Mind you, this only applies to government-owned properties, so the effect is pretty small.
Adam, to say perps will just "ignore the law anyway" as reason to not have a law, well, that's just....
Postman, this has nothing to do with condoning or condemning homosexuality. None of these arguments actually speak to the law.
