阿肯色州参院通过跨性别厕所法案，批评者称：极端
Arkansas Senate passes transgender restroom bill critics call extreme
The majority-Republican Arkansas state Senate voted Tuesday to pass a bill
that would criminalize transgender people from using public changing
facilities that coincides with their gender identity, introducing a
restriction critics say would be the most extreme in the country.
共和党占多数的阿肯色州参议院周二投票通过了一项法案，该法案将变性人使用与其性别
认同相符的公共更衣设施定为刑事犯罪，招来了批评人士称这将是国内最极端的限制。
Under Senate Bill 270, a transgender person would be charged with misdemeanor
sexual indecency with a child if they use a public changing facility that
doesn't match their assigned sex at birth.
根据参议院第 270 号法案，如果跨性别者使用与其出生时指定性别不相符的公共更衣设
施，他们将被指控对儿童进行性猥亵。
According to the bill, sex is defined as a person's biological "anatomy and
genetics existing at the time of birth." The bill also defines public
changing facilities as restrooms, bathrooms, locker rooms, or shower rooms
but doesn't include a private dressing area in commercial clothing stores.
根据该法案，性别被定义为一个人的生物学特征“出生时的解剖学和遗传学”。该法案还
将公共更衣设施定义为洗手间、浴室、更衣室或淋浴间，但不包括商业服装店的私人更衣
区。
While several Republican lawmakers abstained from the vote, the bill was
approved on a 19-7 vote in the 35-member Senate. The bill will now head to
the GOP-run state House.
虽然几名共和党议员投了弃权票，但该法案在 35 名参议院成员中以 19 票对 7 票获得
通过。该法案现在将提交给共和党管理的州议会。
The bill comes amidst an upsurge of anti-transgender legislation and
increasingly hostile rhetoric against transgender people in largely red
states. More than 175 bills targeting transgender people's rights have been
introduced this year, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
该法案出台之际，反跨性别立法激增，而且在以红州为主的各州，针对跨性别者的敌对言
论越来越多。据人权运动称，今年已经提出了超过 175 项针对跨性别者权利的法案。
"What this is an attack on the continued existence in public of
transgender people, and the criminalization of being transgender in public,"
said Cathryn Oakley, state legislative director and senior counsel at the
Human Rights Campaign.
这是对变性人在公共场合持续性攻击，以及将变性人在公共场合定为犯罪，”州立
法主任兼人权运动高级顾问凯瑟琳·奥克利 (Cathryn Oakley) 说。
