The law requires people to use bathrooms and locker rooms in public schools and government-owned buildings that match their sex assigned at birth.
Utah became the latest state to regulate bathroom access for transgender people after Republican Gov. Spencer Cox signed a law Tuesday that requires people to use bathrooms and locker rooms in public schools and government-owned buildings that match their sex assigned at birth.
Under the legislation, transgender people can defend themselves against complaints by proving they had gender-affirming surgery and changed the sex on their birth certificate. Opponents noted not all states allow people to change their birth certificates and that many trans people don’t want to have surgery.
The legislation also requires schools to create “privacy plans” for trans students and others who may not be comfortable using group bathrooms, for instance by allowing them to use a faculty bathroom — something opponents say may “out” transgender children.
This is such a non-issue that they are trying to make into an issue, most restrooms should be gender-neutral anyways because who the fuck just trying to check out other people in the bathroom, people just want to get in and get out and the gender of the other people in there makes no difference to me.
Gender neutral private bathrooms? Sure
Gender neutral community bathrooms? I'm a little uneasy. As a small female, the thought of being in a semi-private area with just any guy gives me the chills. Trans people can share my bathroom, but I'd rather keep the other dudes away please.
