| Description | There is no federal law restricting access to bathrooms matching their gender identity for transgender people in Brazil but some states like Santa Catarina have passed bans on unisex toilets. Since 2015, several municipalities have passed bans on transgender people accessing the bathroom matching their gender identity. The Supreme Court is currently stalled on protections for access to the usage of the bathroom matching a trans person’s gender identity. However, access is protected in Rondonia. |
