The battle over which restrooms transgender people should use is heating up in Washington state. Initiative 1515 seeks to overturn the state's open bathroom rule, which allows transgender people the right to use gender-segregated facilities consistent with their gender identity or gender expression. I-1515 proponents say the rule should be reversed as a matter of privacy and public safety, but opponents say their civil rights are at stake. We hear from both sides in this controversial debate.
