Support for transgender restroom access grows in California

Californians’ support for transgender students being able to use restrooms that match their gender identities is growing, a new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll has found. The law took effect in 2014 and requires schools to let transgender students use restrooms and locker rooms and play on the sports teams for the gender with which they identify, even if different from the gender they were assigned at birth. Pollsters asked half of the participants solely about transgender student restroom access and half about students’ access to both restrooms and sports teams matching their gender identities.
