A transgender student who wanted to use the boy's bathroom and locker room at his school in Nevada has sparked a new round of debate among legislators over the issue.
In September, a 13-year-old transgender boy made a request to use the male-designed facilities at his middle school in Elko County.
The school board rejected his request, prompting the threat of legal action by the American Civil Liberties Union.
Also weighing in on the case were three conservative state lawmakers, who have trashed a new anti-bullying law that broadly protects transgender students, among others.
They also suggested consideration of a bill that leaves the issue to school districts or revisiting a failed measure that would require students to use bathrooms corresponding to their biological sex.
