21 states now limit transgender people's bathroom use, with criminal penalties in two

Nearly half of the states in the country want to check what’s in your
pants before you can use the bathroom. Two make using the facilities in
line with a person’s gender identity a crime. 

Twenty-one states ban transgender people from using the bathrooms that
align with their gender identity in some form, according to the Movement
Advancement Project. An additional four states — Indiana, Kansas,
Nebraska, and North Carolina — have laws defining "male" and "female"
based on sex assigned at birth, which can affect trans people’s bathroom
use. In Kansas, a bathroom ban bill passed the GOP-dominated state
legislature and was enacted into law despite the Democratic governor’s
veto. 

Trans bathroom bans have been around for over a decade, with the first
being North Carolina’s H.B. 2. The 2016 law has since been partially
overturned, but that hasn’t stopped other states from following suit.
Many similar bans have been enacted in just the past two years, making
up a fraction of the hundreds of anti-LGBTQ+ bills proposed annually. 

Here are all of the states that have trans bathroom bans, two of which
criminalize using the “wrong” restroom.
