Transgender Bathrooms
Posted by CatholicMaine • March 2, 2011
http://www.catholicmaine.com/?p=10784The issue of transgender bathrooms has come up again, with the introduction of a bill in the House that would allow the operator of a restroom or shower facility to decide who can use which bathroom:
[Rep. Kenneth] Fredette, a former member of the Maine Human Rights Commission who was elected for the House of Representatives in November, seeks to overturn a 2010 commission decision regarding transgender students in public schools. In September the commission opted to work with the Department of Education after the gubernatorial election to develop guidelines for how to accommodate transgender students' use of bathroom and locker room facilities. That process has yet to unfold.
