FOX News/By  Elizabeth Harrington  ·Published November 19, 2015 Washington Free Beacon

"The Department of Housing and Urban Development is seeking to require shelters to accommodate transgender individuals to use the shared sleeping and bathing areas of their choice.

A proposed regulation would require shelters that receive funding from the Office of Community Planning and Development, which spends $6.5 billion annually, to "provide transgender persons and other persons who do not identify with the sex they were assigned at birth with access to programs, benefits, services, and accommodations in accordance with their gender identity."

This is good but then again I don't know...
I mean most of the trans community, I feel
would just want to be placed in the area based on their
identified gender that they connect with. Other then that
this will at least keep them safe from, transphobia and hate
crimes.
