Another State May Restrict Transgender People From Using Bathrooms Aligning With Their ‘Gender Identity’

Earlier this year, Utah enacted legislation to prohibit people who think they are “transgender” from using bathrooms that do not align with their biological sex, which Townhall covered

“We want public facilities that are safe and accommodating for everyone and this bill increases privacy protections for all,” Republican Gov. Spencer Cox said in a statement about the law.

These types of laws protect women and girls from so-called "trans women," who are males that think they're women, from using their private spaces. Now, another state appears to be following suit.

A bill prohibiting people who believe they are transgender from using facilities that align with their “gender identity” may become the law of the land in Louisiana. 

According to NBC News, the bill, called the Women’s Safety Protection Act, passed a bipartisan committee without objection and will head to the House floor for debate. The House is majority Republican (via NBC News):

Louisiana’s bill would require public schools to designate each restroom or changing room for “the exclusive use of either females, males, or members of the same family.” Similar rules would apply to bathrooms and sleeping quarters in state prisons, juvenile detention centers and state-managed domestic violence shelters.

The bill defines female and male according to one’s biological reproductive system rather than one’s gender identity.

“I’m standing for the basic understanding that there are biological difference between females and males that create the need for separate privacy spaces,” GOP Rep. Roger Wilder III, who sponsored the measure, said. “This bill’s goal is to put women first by affording them confidence in their privacy and safety.”

Earlier this year, Townhall covered how Louisiana joined over 20 other states with laws on the books banning experimental, irreversible so-called “gender-affirming” care for minors. This includes puberty blockers, hormone therapy treatment, and sex reassignment surgery.

Then-Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) vetoed the legislation. The veto was overridden by state lawmakers. 

“Today, I was overridden for the second time, on my veto of a bill that needlessly harms a very small population of vulnerable children, their families and their health care professionals. I expect the courts to throw out this unconstitutional bill, as well,” Edwards said in response to the lawmakers overriding his veto.
