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. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

These two links show all of the Republican legislators in Utah if anyone needs to report seeing them using the "wrong" bathroom.
https://senate.utah.gov/senate-roster/
https://house.utleg.gov/house-members/
This would be the form you should fill out. I would definitely report any of those people for using the "wrong" bathroom if you happen to have any information on that.

Please use a VPN and no identifiable info when submitting.
I don't think they would trawl through hundreds of thousands of submissions to go after individuals. I also doubt they would extradite me from the UK. So fuck the VPN.
They sure as hell pass laws to go after just a fraction of their population so...
Good thing i have zero intention of ever going to Utah
It's a beautiful state, politics aside
VPNs do not make you anonymous
No, but not providing them with personal information like one's email, address, name, phone number or social media accounts, and not screaming "I live within # km of xxx!" by accessing their website with your actual IP address? That kinda helps. Plus, they're definitely blocking any reports made from out of state at this point.
FWIW I'd just use a random name generator. They could just filter out common/obviously fake submissions of legislators. The goal should be obfuscation, make it hard to tell what is a genuine report and what is a report for someone who doesn't even exist—reports that they can't just toss until they investigate and realize it was just a waste of time.
Are you saying legislators are unwilling to investigate their own even if they're violating the law?
Yes, that's how the GOP operates.
