Transgender students sue Tennessee over law barring them from restrooms matching their gender - Metro Weekly

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Under the bill, public schools must provide a "reasonable accommodation" to any students who do not wish to use multi-occupancy facilities -- regardless of their gender identity -- while maintaining a general policy of segregating facilities (or sleeping assignments, in terms of school-sponsored field trips) based on a student's assigned sex at birth.
49% : But now he intends to attend public school, meaning that, under the recently passed law, he will once again be barred from certain spaces designated for people whose assigned sex at birth was male.
45% : In addition to the so-called "bathroom bill," the Volunteer State has enacted four other anti-transgender laws this year, including a bill to ban transgender athletes from competing on sports teams matching their gender identity, a bill to restrict transgender minors from accessing gender-affirming health care treatments, a "Business Bathroom Bill" requiring establishments without sex-segregated bathrooms to post "warning" signs alerting their customers of their restroom policies, and a bill to require school districts to alert parents 30 days before students are taught about sexual orientation or gender identity -- even in passing, as in the case of historical figures -- so they can "opt out" of the lesson.
