A university employee is facing backlash for using a restroom. The staff member, who is trans, has been using the same facilities for years without issue. However, a new law has led to a complaint being filed against them.

The law, which went into effect recently, restricts bathroom use in public buildings. It allows individuals to sue others for suspected misuse of restrooms, with potential damages of up to $1,000. The university employee in question works as a janitor at a geological survey facility.

Further details about the incident and the employee's response are available from local news sources, including the Lawrence Times.
