Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has vetoed Republican-sponsored legislation to restrict use of public school restrooms by transgender students.
The veto was among several the Democratic governor made on Thursday.
Under the bill, public schools in Arizona would have to establish other accommodations for a student who refused to use a multi-occupancy bathroom or changing area of the gender they were assigned at birth. The law would also have applied to sleeping quarters on school-sponsored overnight trips.
Republican lawmakers argue that the legislation would protect children, but Hobbs disagrees and has previously said she will not support any legislation that targets LGBTQ youth.
Last month, Hobbs vetoed a bill that would have compelled schools not to refer to transgender students by the names or pronouns they identify with.

Just have a generic bathroom for all the weirdos need to use this who don't fit in either category.
I like how some states want you to get your parents permission to get a tattoo but you don't need your parents permission to get your gender transition surgery as a preteen. It's interesting how the government says it's their kids when we say it's our kids and when we complain, they send the FBI after us saying we are domestic terrorists.
