Now that legislative efforts to overturn the Human Rights Commission's new rules on transgender bathrooms and locker rooms in public buildings have failed, a citizen's group has launched a new campaign to reverse the laws.

Led by conservative activist Joseph Backholm, the Just Want Privacy campaign is seeking to get enough signatures to put the measure on the November ballot. Backholm is the executive director of the Family Policy Institute, a Washington state-based group who support traditional family and lifestyle values. They were in the news extensively for their support of Arlene's Flowers owner Barronelle Stutzman.

Backholm says this has nothing to do with transgender issues, he really doesn't care. For him and his group, it's about a "right to privacy."  According to NW Cable News, Backholm also said:

“The idea that when I send my kids to school, that I don't have the right to expect if they are changing in the girls’ locker room that there will not be a naked boy next to them who identifies as a female,”

The issue has sparked opposing rallies that have taken place in Olympia and near the state capitol. Another story has sparked considerable interest recently, when earlier this month a man undressed in the women's Green Lake Park locker room, and claimed he was justified by the new transgender rule.  The incident triggered quite a controversy in Seattle.

According to the Human Rights Commission, all state public buildings and businesses with more than 8 employees, must allow people to utilize the bathroom or locker room of the gender they identify with-regardless of the opinions of the owner or others who work of patronize the business.

According to Backholm:

“This has nothing to do with transgender people, this has to do with an irresponsible policy that creates undeniable opportunity for people to do harm if they are so motivated.”
