A new civil rights ordinance that mostly addresses housing and employment discrimination against transgender people in Gainesville Florida has become controversial, because it allows transgender people to use public restrooms appropriate to gender identity vice restricting rest room usage based on genitalia.  Critics are saying the ordinance that passed this week on a 4 to 3 vote isn't written clearly enough to explain how this law will effect transgender people's public bathroom usage, or how it will impact businesses that must comply with the ordinance. At least, that's how the public argument goes.
