""The last thing I want to do is scare a little girl in the bathroom," Lyons said."
""We're not singling anyone out," she said. "You can continue to identify any which way you want. But if you're born a male, you're going to the male bathroom. Pretty simple. You're born a female, going to the female bathroom.""
""most extreme anti-LGBTQ+ bill""
S.B. 182 defines sex and gender by reproductive organs and applies that definition across all state laws. The bill bars transgender students from using restrooms that align with their gender identity and allows students to sue schools if a trans classmate uses a different restroom. The measure requires jails and prisons to house transgender inmates according to sex assigned at birth. The Senate passed the bill 37-8 on a party-line vote. Indiana previously enacted bans on preferred names/pronouns for minors without parental permission, gender-affirming care for minors, transgender student-athlete participation, and transgender healthcare in prisons. Provisions are described as among the state's most extreme anti-LGBTQ+ measures.
