Emma Vosicky, the executive director of GenderNexus, speaks against Senate Bill 182 along with other transgender-rights supporters outside the Indiana Senate chamber on Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026. Provisions of Senate Bill 182 would require those schools and universities to designate multiple-person restrooms, locker rooms, and changing areas for use only by males or females based on their reproductive biology at birth. “I’m a transgender man, and I do not belong in the women’s restroom,” Hardy said.
