What a fucking thing to waste time and money on... Focus on hating your fellow American so you don't notice the guys looting the country and destroying democracy.

Are these the fabled crotch Inspectors? Or do they just check all women's IDs? What if you don't have your poop ID on you?

They don't let women they consider unfuckable in.

And how are they determining who is and isn't a woman?

Caption on the source for the image is helpful:

Texas Department of Public Safety officers guard the women’s bathroom and ask some individuals to show ID to enter at the Capitol in Austin on Dec. 6, 2025. Members of 6W Project protested the newly enacted Senate Bill 8 “bathroom bill” by checking what the enforcement measures to enter the bathroom would be at the Capitol. SB 8, also known as the Texas Women’s Privacy Act, is aimed at restricting transgender people’s access to certain restrooms in the state, and went into effect on Dec. 4, 2025. Salgu Wissmath for The Texas Tribune

So yes, ID required just to enter the building, and guarding the women's bathroom entrance?

and ask some individuals to show ID to enter

They choose who have to show their ID.
