Who may use public restrooms and locker rooms?
Robinson said Michigan law currently permits restricting the use of changing and locker rooms and shower facilities based on sex. Restroom use is more complicated. Not all transgender individuals who transition from one sex to the other have sex-change surgery. “The proposed ordinance would neither require nor prohibit restroom designation by an employer on the basis of gender or biological sex,” Robinson said. Employers or public-accommodation owners could continue to require all individuals to use restrooms assigned to their biological sex.
