“California Assembly Passes Transgender Bill Allowing Student Choice on Bathroom, Sports Team”

May 15th, 2013

Sponsored by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) Assembly Bill 1266 is aimed at prohibiting “discrimination against transgender students” in the state’s school districts, Ammiano said.

Several school districts, including in Los Angeles and San Francisco, already have policies that allow students to participate in activities and use facilities for the gender they identify with, according to local news reports. Should the bill also pass in the state’s Senate and signed by the governor, it would ensure that all students have equal access, according to Ammiano.

“I do not believe that by allowing individuals of opposite sex to use the same restrooms makes any sense at all, and I think the vast majority of Californians deeply oppose this,” said Assemblyman Tim Donnelly (R-Twin Peaks) as reported by The Sacramento Bee.

Curt Hagman (R-Chino Hills) said the bill doesn’t make practical sense, especially in consideration of middle and high school students changing and showering in a locker room, the Bee stated in its article.
