Misleading. The claim refers to transgender individuals using a locker/bathroom that does not align with the gender they were born with -- yet the claim doesn't make that distinction.

This is a very clear factcheck stating the misleading qualities of the claim that was posted, but you included links and did not include any direct evidence aside from mentioning the wording of the claim. The first link you included has statements from many states in the US on their policies regarding gendered bathrooms in schools, and the District of Columbia says, "This means that transgender and gender-­‐nonconforming students are entitled to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity Any student, transgender or otherwise... also has the right to access a single-­‐user restroom, such as a staff bathroom or the bathroom in the nurse’s office". This is a great quote to support your fact check and coming from the capital of the US is great evidence against the claim which is worded so poorly.

Your claim is very clear and your sources seem to be good ones. However, you didn't use any direct evidence from the sources, so it is unclear which aspects of the articles you find most important for supporting your argument.
