South Dakota's governor now says he'll meet with transgender students before deciding whether to sign an anti-trans "bathroom bill" into law.

The bill would require students in public schools to use the restrooms, locker rooms, and shower facilities designated for the gender they were assigned at birth, and any transgender student uncomfortable with this would have to put in a request with his or her school district to use a separate facility. The South Dakota Senate approved the measure Tuesday, sending it on to the governor, after the House OK'd it last month. If Gov. Dennis Daugaard signs it, it will be the first such law in the nation.

A small glimmer of hope for a veto? Or is he looking at the loss of Federal Dollars for school funding being lost?

Hopefully he's doing it for the right reason, basic human rights.
