- It's an unnecessary solution in search of a problem
- Absurdly demands chromosomal and biological proof of gender to use school restrooms
- Opens the stall door to Kentucky politicians regulating school restrooms throughout the state
- Violation of Title IX, the federal law banning discrimination in schools based on sex
- Takes home rule away from local school districts and school principals
- Targets gender non-conforming students, who are already among the most harassed--nearly nine in ten have been verbally harassed at school and more than half have been physically assaulted
- Allows students to claim a $2,500 bounty for each encounter with a transgender student and more money for psychological and emotional harm
- "I tend to think that working through issues such as this are better handled on the local level." -Bowling Green Independent School District Superintendent Joe Tinius
