Marcy Rheintgen is a transgender Florida student who was arrested and imprisoned for using a woman’s toilet under Florida’s anti-transbathroom law.
A week before his arrest, Rainzgen sent about 160 letters to Florida lawmakers, saying that it was his intention to use the toilet he was arrested, protesting the requirements for facilities based on sexual activity.
When he arrived on campus, two police officers met him outside the toilet and warned him not to enter. He was arrested when he did anyway.
“So you told them you were going to do this. It was a 100% stunt. It was a political stunt. I like this. And yet they still arrested you.” Alex Stein I say to Rheintgen in “Primetime with Alex Stein.”

“They trespassed me and then they arrested me. They said, ‘You had to be good, you’ve come to not use the women’s toilet here again, you have to make a promise, and I’m ‘I might use the women’s toilet’ and I was a bit cheeky about it,” Rhinezgen told Stein.
“I praise you for being arrested,” Stein replies. “Obviously you’re down for a cause. But isn’t this stupid with a grand plan of things?”
“I think it’s stupid to go to jail for this. I’m protesting the punishment. You know, I spent the night like a sticky, disgusting, horrible prison with all this, like the people with MS-13,” says Rheintgen.
Rheintgen is very pleased with herself for her support of trans rights, but Stein doesn’t understand why she wants to be a woman in the first place.
“Why are you going to be a girl, Mercy? You’re in good condition, you seem smart, you’re politically active, you’re religious, why are you starting this fight for the trans community?” Stein asks.
“Well, I’ve always felt uncomfortable because I was six years old. This is my only effective treatment. I was a very handsome guy. “Some people say it’s a mental illness, and honestly, they might be right.”
“You don’t tell people with anorexia not to eat properly. So are you saying that what you’re experiencing is a mental health issue?” Stein said, “I have mental health issues. I’m not perfect. I’m coming here and I have no judgment. I’m not Dr. Phil.”
“It’s a mental health issue and in that application we don’t tell people with eating disorders not to continue eating,” he adds.
