Transgender Student Arrested in Florida for Violating Bathroom Law, Believed to Be First Case

Marcy Rheintgen, a 20-year-old transgender student, was arrested for violating Florida's law barring transgender women from entering women's bathrooms in some government buildings.
Rheintgen was arrested after refusing to leave a women's restroom at the Florida State Capitol building, where she had entered to wash her hands and pray the rosary.
Rheintgen faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge punishable by up to 60 days in jail, and her arrest is believed to be the first under transgender bathroom restriction laws in any U.S. State with a criminal ban.
