Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves announced on Monday that he has signed a new law aimed at regulating transgender individuals' use of bathrooms, locker rooms, and dormitories in public education buildings. This move makes Mississippi the 12th state to impose restrictions on transgender students regarding the facilities they can access based on their gender identity.
The governor criticized a federal regulation that prohibits blanket policies preventing transgender students from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity. Reeves, along with Republican attorneys general from several states, is challenging this federal regulation.
