Officials in Florida have approved new rules that require college teachers and students to only use bathrooms based on their sex, outlining strict punishments for personnel accused of any violation.

On Wednesday, the Florida State Board of Education adopted rules (pdf) that require the Florida College System to ensure that restrooms and changing facilities in its institutions are “designated for exclusive use by males or females” as defined by their sex. As such, transgenders cannot use restrooms or changing facilities depending on their perceived gender identity.
