Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee this week signed a bill that prevents schools from allowing transgenderto use the bathroom that fits with their gender identity. Instead, schools are required to provide a “single-occupancy restroom or changing facility, or use of an employee restroom or changing facility” for any student who “will not or cannot” use a gender-specific bathroom that fits with their gender assigned at birth.
According to CNN, 44 states and Washington, DC, make it illegal to discriminate based on gender for public accommodations. Still, Lee said in a statement, the law “is a reasonable accommodation, it allows for accommodation for every student regardless of their gender. I think that's a smart approach to the challenge. And I'll be signing that."
Meanwhile, in Alabama, the legislative session ended without a vote on a bill that would outlaw gender-affirming medical treatment for transgender teens. While it passed the state Senate, it did not receive a final vote before the session’s end. "This important victory is the result of trans people and their families mobilizing to defend this life-saving medical care in Alabama and around the country," Chase Strangio, deputy director for trans justice with the ACLU's LGBTQ & HIV Project,
Great, so now you’ll have girls in the boys’ bathroom and vice versa. Good thinking there.
Best thing ever.. love my governor!!
Why is America so weirdly fixated on bathrooms?
Let’s use unisex bathrooms and stop this nonsense immediately.
how is that enforced? Are they going to place guards in the bathrooms that check people's genitals?
Good news
Yay! Make a bathroom only for trans. That’s it.
super wack. bathrooms shouldn’t even be gender labeled anyway. we all release our bowels the same way 🤷🏾♂️
