Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

And yet, you knew they were trans men. That's how the law will be enforced. Are you a trans guy who works somewhere and illegally uses the men's bathroom? All it takes is one bigoted coworker finding out you're trans, and they can then have you arrested. They may even be able to use your personally for thousands of dollars. So even if the police won't bother with such bullshit, they still may be able to attack their trans coworker. And ultimately, in a case like this with a bigoted employee suing a trans coworker, the employer would most likely just fire the trans person to make the problem go away.
No only said that by seeing pictures and people saying they are trans in person no. My son best friend is a trans man and until my son told me that I had no clue he wasn't a man at birth.
That's not what you said at all. Your comment said nothing about pictures. You asked how this would be enforced without doing genital inspections. Though, you misspelled genitals in lieu of a Biblical reference.
You asked how this would be enforced. I told you. Even if someone isn't visibly trans, the risk of being outed always exists. And you found out about your son's friend, just as bigots may learn that a stealth trans person is trans. People have digital records that follow them their entire lives. People gossip. It's impossible to truly hide your trans status in this day and age from someone who really wants to research it. And all it takes is one single bigot at your workplace to learn about you and to make your life hell.
