“All men are liars, said Roberta Muldoon, who knew this was true because she had once been a man.”~John Irving
A California lawmaker has introduced legislation aimed at guaranteeing transgender students the right to use public school restrooms and participate on the sports teams that correspond with their expressed genders.
The bill reflects the accommodations that a number of U.S. schools are being asked to make as Americans start identifying as transgender at younger ages.
If approved, the bill would give young people the right "to participate in sex-segregated programs, activities and facilities" regardless of what gender is listed on their school records. What motive is there behind the bill and what are the pros and cons of putting into place a law that guarantees the rights of transgender students?
