SACRAMENTO, Calif. (BP) -- A bill that would allow boys who say they
identify as girls to use the girls' restrooms and locker rooms, and vice
versa, passed the California Assembly Thursday (May 9) and now heads to
the state Senate.
AB 1266, which passed largely on a party-line
vote of 45-24, has been touted by supporters as "eliminating obstacles
facing transgender people," but opponents have warned it "mandates San
Francisco values on all California schools."
Under the bill, a
student will be "permitted to participate in sex-segregated school
programs, activities, and facilities, including athletic teams and
competitions," consistent with "his or her gender identity, irrespective
of the gender listed on the pupil's records."
