SUMMARY: Senate Bill 486, requiring single-stall gender-neutral bathrooms in some buildings, has been sent to the Governor’s Office. The bill mandates individuals use bathrooms that align with their gender at birth, raising concerns among transgender individuals. One transgender man, Gideon Dursin, expressed his worries about the law forcing him to choose between using the men’s restroom unlawfully or the women’s restroom, potentially causing distress. Lawmakers argue the bill aims to protect children, ensuring they feel safe using restrooms. The bill includes exceptions for emergencies but has raised significant debate regarding its implications for the transgender community.

Senate Bill 486 would regulate Arkansas transgender bathroom use.
