<message> Bill 1 / Proposition X This proposed ballot measure prohibits students from entering bathrooms and changing rooms that do not correspond to their "biological sex" assigned at birth in school. "Biological sex" is defined by chromosomes, genitalia, birth certificate, or hormone levels produced at birth. It also prohibits school employees or contractors from using pronouns or names for students that differ from the student's "biological sex" unless the school or school board receives written permission from the student's parent. Even with parent permission, an employee or contractor can claim a "religious or moral conviction" to refer to a student only by the pronouns that align with their "biological sex" at birth. If any given section of this bill is found to be illegal, the rest of the bill remains in effect. If passed by voters, it cannot be repealed unless referred back to the voters. A school would be open to civil liabilities for damages for allowing a trans person to use the bathroom up to two years after the fact. It also requires any public or charter school employee to inform the legal guardians of a minor if that minor's gender identity does not match their sex assigned at birth. </message>
