bathroom bill
Toilet access law
A bathroom bill is legislation restricting access to public restrooms based on sex or gender identity.
Such bills typically require individuals to use facilities matching the sex on their birth certificate rather than their gender identity, effectively barring transgender people from restrooms aligned with how they live.
The state's bathroom bill sparked protests from LGBTQ advocates.
The term emerged in American political discourse around 2016.
