Some states are fighting President Barack Obama and his agenda by introducing legislation that would block transgender bathrooms.
According to EAGnews, Kentucky, Virginia and Texas lawmakers were considering bills that would require that people use public bathrooms that correspond with their biological sex and not their “gender identity.”
This is a far cry from the Obama administration’s rule that ordered all bathrooms in government buildings to be respectful of gender identity. The Washington Times reported that the ruling applied to about 9,200 facilities across the country.
However, all-inclusive bathrooms could soon be a thing of the past for these three states.
According to The Atlantic, all three bills were very similar. In Texas, Senate Bill 6 ordered that people in all facilities — including public schools and state agencies — use only those bathrooms that correspond to the gender on their birth certificates.
In Kentucky, lawmakers hoped for the same thing as Texas state leaders.
Virginia lawmakers were catching some flak for their bill, which in part stated that school officials have to tell a child’s parents if the child identified as anything other than the gender on his or her birth certificate.
The parents must be informed if the child was “recognized or treated as the opposite sex, to use a name or pronouns inconsistent with the child’s sex, or to use a restroom or changing facility designated for the opposite sex,” according to the bill.
While liberal Democrats had hoped for a Supreme Court ruling that would settle the issue once and for all, a changing political climate is undoing the headway made by President Obama on transgender and similar issues.
Now states will have more freedom to make decisions for themselves.
