Republican North Carolina lawmakers introduced legislation Tuesday that would restrict transgender people from using a bathroom different from their biological sex in some state buildings. A more sweeping transgender bathroom law was passed in 2016 but was revoked after sparking controversy.
The measure, Senate Bill 516, seeks to define sex exclusively in terms of male and female descriptions and prevent individuals from changing their gender on documents and identification, in addition to the bathroom limitations.
