The controversial bill is one of several transphobic actions taken by Republicans in Texas.
These actions violated federal antidiscrimination law, the ACLU of Texas says.
A new study proves that transgender people are more likely to face harassment when using bathrooms that align with their sex assigned at birth than in facilities that match their identities.
The transgender student was suspended for refusing to use the boys’ bathroom and harassed by other students when she did.
The bill would ban trans folks from using bathrooms, locker rooms, and dorms aligned with their gender identity.
Beyond the discriminatory nature of the bill, LGBTQ+ advocates say the legislation threatens the ability to even document violence against the community.
As of July 1, only one’s sex assigned at birth as reflected on a birth certificate can be noted on identification documents in Tennessee.
