"H.B. 2536 would not only require "correctional centers, juvenile detention facilities, public buildings, public elementary and high schools, shelters for victims of domestic violence, and state institutions of higher education" to ban trans people from using single-sex facilities that do not correspond with their sex assigned at birth, it also amends existing statutory definitions of "female," "male," and "sex" based on an individuals reproductive system."
"H.B. 2075 would require all multi-occupancy restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, and shower rooms in public buildings, schools, and institutions of higher education to be sex-segregated and accessible only to people whose sex assigned at birth corresponds to the sex designated for those spaces."
"H.B. 1893 would allow private schools to ban trans students from using multi-occupancy bathrooms and changing rooms that do not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. H.B. 1893 contains an emergency clause that would trigger its immediate implementation if it were passed."
Nearly a dozen bills targeting transgender rights have been introduced or passed across U.S. state legislatures in early March. Republican lawmakers in seven states are pushing legislation restricting bathroom access based on sex assigned at birth, banning transgender women and girls from sports, and preventing transgender people from teaching. Missouri's proposed bills are particularly expansive, targeting bathrooms and facilities in schools, detention centers, shelters, and higher education institutions. Three Missouri bills would require sex-segregated facilities based on reproductive system definitions, restrict multi-occupancy restroom access, and allow private schools to enforce similar restrictions. One bill includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
