Caitlyn Jenner has been the latest person to weigh-in on the issue of transgenders' ban from using public toilets and anti-LGBT bill.
The 66-year-old 'I Am Cait' star, who came out as a transgender woman last year, took to her website to write, "We all want safety and privacy in public bathrooms. But these anti-LGBT bills, like the ones in North Carolina and Mississippi, actually make us less safe, not more safe," reports E! Online.
"They open the door to abuse, aggressive and confrontational behavior in bathrooms, and encourage strangers to demand that women and girls prove that they are actually female in order to use the restroom. No one wants that," she added.
In March, North Carolina became the first state to bar transgender people from using public restrooms that do not match the sex assigned to them at birth.
The ban has spurred bands such as Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam to cancel concerts in North Carolina and for major businesses such as PayPal to cancel planned projects there.
A similar law in Mississippi, also signed this month, allows employers to cite religion when determining policies on bathroom access and dress codes.
