Maine legislator wants vote on transgender bathroom use

Maine state Rep. Kenneth Fredette has introduced a bill that would establish bathroom-use policies regarding transgender students. The bill would leave bathroom and shower assignments up to "the operator of a restroom or shower facility." 

The Maine Human Rights Commission is set to develop guidelines along with the Department of Education, but Fredette says the issue is too important not to be voted on in the Legislature.

If only there was some simple, commonsense solution to this, humanity's single biggest problem (like gender-neutral bathrooms or something).
