The just laws that ensure the safety and rights of transgendered students, originated from the problem of transgendered students having safe access to facilities that are gender specific. They will often be harassed because of the persons’ opposite gender identity and results in the creation of an unsafe environment.

A law to protect transgendered students such as California’s School Success and Opportunity Act (AB1266) is an example of a just law and therefore should be obeyed by
