restroom access

North Carolina passed a law similar to the Texas Senate’s bill last year, sparking national outcry and costly boycotts.

The parents group, “Privacy Matters,” claimed that allowing a trans girl to use the girls’ locker room was having a “severe and negative impact” on other girls.

“That’s what I think about transgender people sharing them bathrooms when there’s only male or female,” the man says as he throws away the signs.

Republican lawmakers argued the bill would make it hard to protect women from men entering women’s bathrooms under the guise of being transgender.

A one-sentence bill filed last week offered little specifics, other than saying its purpose was to address “gender identity and bathroom privileges.”

Transgender teen Gavin Grimm is suing his Virginia high school for the right to use the restroom and locker room that corresponds with his gender.

Participants suggested that bathroom signage indicate what can be found in the bathroom, e.g. toilets with urinals, toilets without urinals, larger toilet with grab bars.

The bill would amend civil rights law to block transgender people from using the facilities that correspond to their gender unless they have had genital surgery.

They’re also seeking unspecified monetary damages, other policies to avoid transgender discrimination and training for administrators.
