"Supporters of the bill describe it as a privacy safeguard, while opponents warn it could stigmatize transgender students and expose them to harassment or forced outing."
"The legislation requires multi-user restrooms, locker rooms, and changing facilities to be used based on sex assigned at birth, with alternative options provided for non-compliance."
The South Carolina Senate passed a bill by a 35-2 vote that restricts transgender students' access to bathrooms and locker rooms according to their sex assigned at birth. The legislation applies to K-12 schools and public colleges, requiring alternative options for those who do not wish to comply. It includes enforcement mechanisms that could penalize non-compliant school districts. This move aligns South Carolina with a national trend among Republican-led states targeting transgender rights in everyday spaces.
