In the last few years, 18 states have enacted laws to help protect transgender and non-binary people, but there are still some states unwilling to join the program. Kentucky state senator CB Embry Jr. has introduced a bill that aims to ban transgender students from using school bathrooms that match their gender identity. It would also allow students to sue schools for $2,500 if they encounter a transgender peer using what they perceive to be the wrong bathroom. (I don't know how to site). There is a pending law in Florida that states “An act relating to public single-sex accommodations; provide legislative purposes and outcomes; creating s. 760.55, FS; provide definitions; require that the use of single-sex public facilities be limited to persons of the sex for which the facility is designated; knowingly and willfully prohibit entry into a public facility that is reserved for persons of the same sex, or reserved for persons of the opposite biological sex; provide criminal sanctions; provide exemptions; provide private cause of action against infringers”
