Florida bathrooms must align with biological sex.

Florida Passes Law Requiring Bathroom Use Based on Biological Sex

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that requires bathroom use to be based on biological sex. The law, titled “Facility Requirements Based on Sex,” outlines requirements for the use of restrooms and changing facilities, which will be determined exclusively by gender. The measure strictly prohibits anyone from “willfully entering restroom or changing facility designated for the opposite sex and refusing to depart when asked to do so.” The new law applies to all restrooms and changing facilities in K-12 educational institutions, detention facilities, locker rooms, and all public buildings. The law also prohibits Florida’s doctors from performing sex reassignment surgeries or administering puberty blockers for children.
