A transgender bathroom bill in the Tennessee legislature finally walked the plank after failing to get the said legislation through recently. After seeing how the legal challenges will be like in other states which passed the similar standards, the bill was not entirely tolerated by the responsible heads.
According NECN, the bill has become quite the debatable for both those that support it and the opposition as well. If it will become an official law, those parties involved are to make sure that the matter can be officially defended under the scenarios that there will be counter opinions.
As per The State, Rep. Susan Lynn, the Mount Juliet Republican that gave sponsorship to the bill in the House, claimed that it was vital for her to somewhat examine the legislation carefully before bringing it back up once more for next year. She stated that there are some obvious issues that need to be worked out; she is fully aware that once the bill passes, there will be lawsuits to welcome them and their logic is to have the strongest position acceptable in case such occurs, thus the withdrawal of the bill.
It was delivered by Nigeria News Stand that the bill simply required all students in public schools and universities to use bathrooms and locker rooms only that are matched by their birth's gender. Both parties of supporters and oppositions stated their opinions, such as the supporters saying it would protect the privacy of the students, whereas opponents call it somewhat discriminatory.
David Fowler, President of Family Action Council of Tennessee, claimed that the bill failed on the consistent opposition from the governor's office and others, and was quoted, "We join the thousands of parents across the state who are profoundly disappointed that at this point in the process Rep. Lynn has decided not to proceed with a bill that would have simply protected the privacy of the children they have entrusted to our public schools."
On speaking her full concern on the matter, Lynn said that she feels very passionately about the issue. She says that boys should simply use the boys' room and the same manner for the girls.
