Less than a week after South Dakota's Republican governor vetoed a bill that would have made it the first state in the nation to have a law that would have required transgender students to use bathrooms that match their sex at birth, Tennessee lawmakers are set to consider similar legislation.

The measure, sponsored by Rep. Susan Lynn, R-Old Hickory, and Sen. Mike Bell, R-Riceville, would "require that a student use student restroom and locker room facilities that are assigned for use by persons of the same sex as the sex indicated on the student’s original birth certificate."...

Calling her bill a "very friendly" approach, Lynn said the legislation allows schools to make arrangements for anyone who "claims to be transgender."

"They can make that accommodation, it's just that it's not going to violate the rights of the students who don’t have that claim," she said pointing out that transgender students will "have a bathroom for their own sex."
