COLUMBUS, Ohio-The Ohio House recently passed House Bill 183, which mandates that transgender students in public schools and colleges must use bathrooms and locker rooms according to their sex assigned at birth rather than their gender identity. This has sparked significant concern among parents of LGBTQ+ teens, such as Sam Shim, who fear for their children’s safety and well-being. Shim worries that the bill will lead to increased targeting and alienation of transgender students, potentially making school environments less safe for them.
