Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves signed a bill into law Monday that would bar transgender people from using bathrooms that correspond with their gender identities in the states public schools.
The legislation, titled the Securing Areas for Females Effectively and Responsibly Act, or the SAFER Act, mandates that the states schools have single-sex restrooms, changing rooms and dormitories. Its text defines someones sex as determined solely by a birth, without regard to the fluidity of how someone acts or feels.
Reeves, a Republican, wrote in a statement on X that the law which takes effect immediately is intended to keep Mississippis daughters safe.
Its mind blowing that this is what Joe Bidens America has come to, he wrote. Having to pass common sense policies that protect womens spaces was unimaginable just a few years ago. But here we are
