California has become the first state to enshrine certain rights for transgender students in state law, requiring public schools to allow those students access to whichever restroom and locker room they want.

Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown announced Monday that he had signed AB1266. The new law gives students the right "to participate in sex-segregated programs, activities and facilities" based on their self-perception and regardless of their birth gender.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - California on Monday became the first state to enshrine certain rights for transgender K-12 students in state law, requiring public schools to allow those students access to whichever restroom and locker room they want.

Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown announced that he had signed AB1266, which also will allow transgender students to choose whether they want to play boys' or girls' sports. The new law gives students the right "to participate in sex-segregated programs, activities and facilities" based on their self-perception and regardless of their birth gender.

what upsets me is the reaction of the FOX news 'Fox and Friends' team - bunch of ignorant fools! they ranted about a whole bunch of ridiculous stuff about children choosing at random time and any random day changing bathrooms and harassing each other - I got a lot MORE harassment as a child simply for being me

ABC News, 08/16/2013

A constitutional legal defense organization has created a checklist for parents opposed to AB 1266 -- California's new school transgender law.

The Sacramento-based Pacific Justice Institute released its "Notice of Reasonable Expectation of Privacy" form after the bill was signed into law.

The organization says it's an "important reminder to school personnel that no state or federal law can override privacy rights."
