Ohio Governor Signs Bill Limiting Bathroom Use By Transgender Students

3 weeks ago A ban on transgender students from kindergarten through college using multiperson bathrooms that fit their gender identities has become law in Ohio. The announcement Wednesday adds to a string of recent bills affecting transgender people nationally. Opponents had hoped that DeWine would veto the bill because he vetoed a measure banning gender-affirming care for minors. The new law says public and private schools must designate separate bathrooms, locker rooms and overnight accommodations for “the exclusive use” of either males and females, based on the gender one was assigned at or near birth.
