| Description | In Indonesia, there is no explict restrictions on trans people having acess to the bathroom on their gender identity rather than their assigned sex at birth but in provinces like Aceh, strict local ordinances (Qanun) explicitly criminalize non-heteronormative behaviors, allowing local authorities to actively restrict, fine, jail, or corporal-punish (flog) trans individuals for being in public spaces, and across other districts, regional municipalities utilize broad "public order," "anti-prostitution," or "morality" bylaws to arbitrarily target, detain, or clear transgender individuals from public squares and shared facilities under the guise of preventing public nuisance. |
