Disputes over bathroom facilities were among the first battlegrounds of the transgender culture wars. Now, one lawmaker wants all California schools to provide gender-inclusive restrooms to 'ensure the well-being of LGBTQ+ and non-binary students.'
State Sen. Josh Newman introduced SB 760 last week, which would require all K-12 public and charter schools to have at least one genderless bathroom for student use amid ever-increasing controversy over the place of public schools when a student claims to identify with a gender different from their biological sex.
Disputes over bathroom facilities were among the first battlegrounds of the transgender culture wars. But the issue has largely faded into obscurity as Republican-controlled states have pushed to ban cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, and sex-change surgeries for minors. The issue has also spilled over into athletics, as a number of states have passed bills requiring student-athletes to compete based on their biological sex.Newman's bill was also co-sponsored by state Sen.
Wiener has introduced numerous bills related to gay and transgender issues in his time in the state legislature. In 2022, Wienerthat makes California a"refuge" for families with children identifying as transgender after a handful of Republican-controlled states took steps to empower Child Protective Services to remove children from homes that approved of their child's use of cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, and other procedures.
