Transgender activists flood Utah tip line with hoax reports to block bathroom law enforcement

Transgender activists have flooded a Utah tip line created to alert state officials to possible violations of a new bathroom law with thousands of hoax reports. The online portal already has received more than 10,000 submissions in its first week. The state auditor says none seem legitimate. Trans activists say the fake submissions are a form of peaceful protest meant to shield trans people who might be reported for possible violations. Their efforts mark the latest attempt by advocates to shut down or render unusable a government tip line that they argue sows division by encouraging residents to snitch on each other.
