"Utah Transgender Teens Speak Out Amid Legislative Push for Gender Restroom Bill"

Transgender teens in Utah are urging the state Legislature not to pass bills that would restrict their access to restrooms and locker rooms. The proposed bill, HB257, seeks to legally define sex based on biological reproductive systems, potentially impacting various areas of Utah code. Transgender students shared their concerns about the bill, highlighting the potential harm and discrimination they may face. While some individuals and organizations support the bill, others argue for equality and fairness. The bill has been approved by the House Business and Labor Committee and will move on to the full House of Representatives for consideration.
