Trans bathroom choice upheld in Alaska

German Lopez of Vox.com reports that "voters in Anchorage, Alaska, have defeated an anti-transgender bathroom measure.

"Proposition 1 would have required everyone in Anchorage public spaces to use the locker room and bathroom that aligns with the gender they were assigned at birth -- effectively barring trans people from using the facility that matches their gender identity."

Voters defeated the measure 53%-47% according to the Anchorage Daily News -- which leaves in place existing protections that were approved by the Anchorage Assembly in 2015.

Brava/Bravo to Alaska . . .  well, to the city of Anchorage, Alaska anyway.
