California Legislature Proposes Bill to Base Bathroom Access on Biological Sex
A new bill, Assembly Bill 1998, has been introduced in the California Legislature by Republican Assemblywoman Leticia Castillo. The proposal aims to base access to bathrooms, locker rooms, and other private areas on biological sex alone, rather than gender identity. This change would require separation by biological sex in intimate spaces like showers and changing rooms. While current state law allows people to use facilities based on gender identity, this bill carves out an exception for single-occupancy bathrooms, which would remain open to everyone. Castillo argues that parents are pushing for these rules to ensure safety and privacy, particularly for women and girls in shared spaces. The bill is currently under debate and will be discussed by lawmakers in the coming weeks.
