Texas has passed the so-called Texas Women’s Privacy Act, S.B. 8 which prohibits transgender people from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity in schools and government buildings. This bill also bans women’s violence shelters from providing services to anyone not assigned female at birth unless they are younger than 17 and a child of someone at the shelter. Meanwhile, the US Department of Education has determined that gender identity policies in five school districts in Northern Virginia violate Title IX. These districts allow transgender students to use bathrooms or facilities matching their gender identity. Will kids be more comfortable with students who look like girls in the boys’ room and those who look like boys in the girls’ room?
