I Just Gotta Pee: The Trans Bathroom Ban

In this episode of T Time, we dive into the controversial hot topic of transgender bathroom legislation. What is it, where did it come from, and why is it so detrimental to the well-being of transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming communities? This episode is all about giving you the lowdown on where transgender bathroom bills came from, presenting you with viewpoints made from either side of the legislation, as well as providing statistical information, research, and background knowledge regarding why these bills are harmful and unnecessary tactics of creating social hysteria. We end by addressing two wonderful listener questions, as well as giving you all the scoop on our exciting plans for PRIDE Month!
