Tennessee Lawmakers Pursue Legislation Even More Transphobic Than South Dakota'shttp://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2016/03/09/3758093/tennessee-transgender/Think Progress/by Zack Ford Mar 9, 2016 2:05 pm
" Tennessee lawmakers are considering an anti-transgender bill that is remarkably similar to the recently vetoed legislation in South Dakota, but one quirk of Tennessee law makes it particularly pernicious.
On Tuesday, the Tennessee House Education Administration & Planning Subcommittee held a hearing on HB 2414, which dictates that public schools must require students to use bathrooms and locker rooms according to the sex "indicated on the student's original birth certificate." Unlike South Dakota's bill, it also explicitly applies to the state's public universities as well, potentially impacting students of all ages, not just those in grade school."
