HB1151/SB1297, penned by Rep. John Ragan, R-Oak Ridge, would affect transgender individuals using the listed facilities if not of their biological sex, although the bill does not specify transgender individuals.

 

However, it does state gender "conditions" will not be a defense to the charge. The bill states "A medical, psychiatric, or psychological diagnosis of gender dysphoria, gender confusion, or similar conditions, in the absence of untreated mental conditions, such as schizophrenia, does not serve as a defense to the offense of indecent exposure."
