Trans Woman Defies Bathroom Law at KU | Lawrence News

A transgender woman at the University of Kansas is caught in a legal battle after being notified she must stop using the women’s restroom under a new state law — Senate Bill 244 — that mandates gender-segregated facilities based on sex assigned at birth. Despite using the restroom for years without issue, she’s now facing potential job consequences and is refusing to comply, calling the law discriminatory and a form of legal segregation.
