States there are only 12 states that are in full support of transgender bathroom access. There are 6 states that have semi support of the issue of transgender bathrooms. 8 states have claimed to have low support, of transgender bathroom rights, which leaves 24 states that are refusing to support transgender bathrooms.

The transgender community has had a progression in treatment towards them. However, there is still not enough of that progress happening. Some policy makers are used to what society has constructed us to believe, which is the definitiveness of sex assignment.

“insider”. I am troubled because as a post-operative woman I have come to understand my gender transition as a stabilizing goal-oriented process, a consideration that is deeply challenged contested by my participants’ counter definition of the transgender experience as a destabilizing social process that should highlight indefinite fluidity and creative potentialities for society at large.

Bullying against transgender teens will only become more rampant if they are forced to use the “correct” bathroom or have special accommodations made for them.
