Federal Judge Blocks #Idaho Law Criminalizing #Transgender Bathroom Use

Six transgender residents claimed that the #BathroomBan, the most restrictive in the nation, violated their constitutional rights.

By Amy Harmon, June 16, 2026

Excerpt: "Twenty states besides Idaho restrict transgender people from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity, according to the #MovementAdvancementProject, which tracks state-level legislation on #LGBTQ issues. But the restrictions elsewhere apply only to schools and colleges, government-owned buildings and public places like parks and airports.

"Idaho’s measure is viewed as the most restrictive such law in the nation because of its broad application and because of the penalties it imposes. Repeat violators face up to five years in prison. The law covers restrooms in all publicly owned buildings as well as privately owned settings such as restaurants, retail stores and business offices. It includes bathrooms with a single stall. Idaho’s law also applies more immediately, including no provision like the one in #Florida that requires a transgender person to refuse to leave a bathroom that does not match their sex at birth in order to establish a violation.

"State officials argue that even if the law is challenging to enforce, it is not unconstitutionally vague because it is clear about what must be proved. They noted that a person’s biological sex could be determined later through objective means, such as a birth certificate or DNA testing, even if it cannot be done at the scene."

So, assuming the #Ceasefire between #Israel and #Hamas holds (and that reparations are made to #Palestinian victims -- but don't hold your breath), what if all the folks who came out for #FreePalestine team up with #ClimateActivists and #HumanRightsActivists and #GBLTQ activists and #WomensRights activists and call for change -- while we still have the #RightToProtest. Not sure what the future holds, but all that #Project2025 and laws for #SilencingDissent are still hanging over our heads... (And not just in the #US...) (And yes, kudos to everyone who showed up in #WashingtonDC today -- you rock!)

#HR9495 is a slippery slope. Who will be considered #terrorists? #ClimateActivists, those who speak up against #IsraeliWarCrimes, #WaterDefenders, #NativeAmericans, #DragQueens, #GBLTQ folks, #Librarians, #gynecologists, etc., etc. We need to #StopHR9495 in its tracks!
