In a concerning incident in Kansas, a cisgender woman and her disabled child were reportedly forced to leave a library bathroom due to the implementation of an anti-transgender bathroom ban. The incident highlights the impact that such discriminatory policies can have on individuals who do not fit the narrow definitions imposed by these bans.

On May 20, a woman in Kansas was instructed to leave the restroom for helping her disabled son.
Karen Wild is the mother to her son Ellis Dunville, who is on the autism spectrum, has a seizure disorder and is nonverbal. Part of her weekly routine is visiting the Wichita Public Library to meet up with Dunville’s grandmother, who helps Wild take care of him.
This incident comes weeks after the state signed SB180, which is informally known as the “Women’s Bill of Rights”. The law is intended to “ensure current protections for women’s spaces are not eroded,” said Republican Rep. Brenda Landwehr during the House Committee hearing on Mar. 31.
