The City Council of Gainesville, Florida, in early 2008 made it legal for men (or women) who perceive themselves as women (or men) to use women's bathrooms in any business or public facility. However, a successful petition drive by "Citizens For Good Public Policy" will place a Charter Amendment on the March 2009 ballot, which would eliminate transgender restrooms. If passed by voters, the proposal would remove the "gender identity" category protection enacted by the city council in February 2008.
