Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 17:52, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply] The introduction does not describe the subject from a neutral point-of-view.

Those who are most personally affected by bathroom bills - transgender individuals - are widely opposed to this type of legislation and feel they represent a violation of civil rights.

Proponents of bathroom bills tout the potential for violence in public spaces if, for instance, a man were to dress as a woman and enter a women's restroom.

There is also little proof that would support the notion that transgender individuals, by their mere existence, would spark the creativity of a mastermind criminal to crossdress to enter private spaces.

FallingGravity (talk) 17:00, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply] Shouldn't this WP entry have a neutral title along the lines of Transgender rights legislation in the United States?

For example, for people born in North Carolina (which is a hotspot for the topic), a modified birth certificate can be obtained after sex reassignment surgery.

Cwater1 (talk) 00:06, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply] The legislation that was passed in Tennessee in 2019 did not criminalize the mere act of a transgender person entering a bathroom contrary to their sex as assigned at birth.

Instead, the legislation that was enacted essentially revised the existing indecent exposure laws such that they now include acts committed in a single-sex restroom or locker room by a member of the opposite sex as assigned at birth.

Prior to this legislation, it appears to have been the case that indecent exposure laws did not apply in restrooms or locker rooms (presumably since exposing oneself to some extent in these settings is routine and functional rather than obscene).

Now, depending on interpretation, the legislation might very well make it illegal for a transgender person to actually undress in a locker room (which of course is one of the main reasons for entering one in the first place).
