3月27日(路透社)—— 爱达荷州共和党控制的立法机构周五通过了一项法案,禁止该州居民使用与其出生时性别不符的浴室或更衣室,这是针对美国跨性别群体的最新限制措施。
该法案预计将由共和党州长布拉德·利特(Brad Little)签署成为法律,并于周五以28票对7票在州参议院通过。此前已于上周在爱达荷州众议院获得通过。

一旦成为法律,该法案将规定,在政府建筑内以及设有公共浴室的餐厅、商店和其他私人企业中,进入为相反生物性别的人指定的洗手间或更衣室将构成犯罪。
根据法案文本,该新规定将于7月生效,首次违规将被定为轻罪,最高可判处一年监禁;五年内第二次违规将构成重罪,最高可判处五年监禁。
美国跨性别群体在州和联邦层面面临的限制日益增多,自唐纳德·特朗普总统去年重返白宫以来,相关限制措施的力度有所加强。特朗普已发布一系列针对跨性别权利的行政命令,并在一份指示中声称,美国政府仅承认两种性别:男性和女性。

美国公民自由联盟(ACLU)谴责爱达荷州法案的通过,并呼吁州长否决该法案。
“该法案提议对使用公共设施的行为处以极端且不必要的惩罚……这是对我们刑事司法系统的不可接受的歧视性滥用,”美国公民自由联盟在一份声明中表示。
州长办公室未立即回应置评请求。
根据倡导跨性别权利的智库“进步运动项目”(Movement Advancement Project)的统计,爱达荷州是美国约20个对跨性别者使用公共浴室有某种限制措施的州之一。
爱达荷州此前已通过一项法律,允许学生因遭遇违反该法律的跨性别学生使用浴室而起诉学校,可索赔5000美元。

March 27 (Reuters) – Idaho’s Republican-controlled legislature passed a bill on Friday to ban people in the state from using bathrooms or changing rooms that do not match the gender they were assigned at birth, in the latest restriction targeting transgender people in the United States.
The bill, expected to be signed into law by Republican Governor Brad Little, passed the state Senate 28-7 on Friday. It passed the Idaho House of Representatives last week.

Once law, it would make it a crime to enter a restroom or changing room designated for the opposite biological sex in government buildings and at restaurants, stores and other private businesses that have a public bathroom.
The first offense under the new rules, set to take effect in July, would be a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail, while a second offense within five years would be a felony, carrying up to a five-year prison sentence, according to the text of the bill.
Transgender people in the country have faced increasing limitations at the state and national levels, and those efforts have been bolstered since President Donald Trump returned to office last year. Trump has issued a series of executive actions targeting transgender rights and stated in a directive that the U.S. government will recognize only two sexes: male and female.

The American Civil Liberties Union condemned the passage of Idaho’s bill and called on the governor to veto it.
“This bill’s proposed punishments for using public facilities are extreme and unnecessary … This is an unacceptable and discriminatory misuse of our criminal legal system,” the ACLU said in a statement.
The governor’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Idaho is in a group of some 20 U.S. states with some form of bathroom access restrictions for transgender people, according to a tally by the Movement Advancement Project, a think tank that advocates for transgender rights.
Idaho earlier passed a law allowing students to sue schools for $5,000 if they encounter a transgender student in a bathroom in violation of the law.
