Panel OKs anti-transgender toilet bill

People in Washington would be required to use a restroom, locker room or other public facility based on their biology, not their sexual identity, under a bill approved by a divided Senate panel Wednesday evening. Republicans on the Senate Law and Justice Committee approved a bill designed to set aside rules by the Human Rights Commission allowing transgender people to use facilities based on the gender with which they identify. Minority Democrats said it was removing important protections for people in the transgender community. Senate Bill 6548 says people cannot use a restroom, bathroom, locker room or sauna if they have “genitalia of a different gender from that for which the facility is segregated”/ Jim Camden , SR.
