Tennessee Governor Signs Anti-Trans School Bathroom Bill Into Law
The measure denies trans students access to multi-user facilities aligning with their gender identity, and if anyone encounters a trans person there, they can sue.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee quietly signed an anti-transgender “bathroom bill” into law Friday.
The legislation, House Bill 1233, will deny trans students and staff in public schools access to multi-occupancy restrooms and changing rooms aligning with their gender identity, while requiring schools to make “reasonable accommodations” for them, for example, a single-occupant or faculty restroom.
It further states that if someone “encounters a person of the opposite sex” a definition that includes trans people in a multi-occupancy facility, it’s grounds for a lawsuit. That’s also the case if anyone is housed with a member of the “opposite sex” during school activities that require overnight stays.
This has become a record-breaking year for anti-trans legislation, with over 100 bills introduced in state legislatures across the country. Most of the legislation being debated targets transgender children, with over 30 bills intended to deny trans kids lifesaving gender-affirming medical care and over 60 bills intended to deny trans children the ability to participate in sports. With these laws passing in states across the country, we have to take a stand and let trans youth know they are not alone. Trans kids need to be told again and again that they are supported, loved, and celebrated, especially when legislators attempt to use them for political gain, stripping their rights and enacting serious damage in the process.
