This collection includes cases relating to transgender persons' access to public, multi-occupancy restrooms that match their gender identities. The issue rose to national political significance following conservative state legislators in North Carolina passing a state law that restricted access to multi-occupancy public bathrooms and changing facilities based on the gender on a person's birth certificate. The law was passed on March 23, 2016, in an emergency session of the legislature called in response to a anti-discrimination law in Charlotte, North Carolina. That anti-discrimination law had expanded protections to cover LGBTQ+ individuals and had given transgender persons the right to use bathrooms matching their gender identities.
