youth, along with those who do not identify as male or female are at increased risk of sexual violence in schools that force them to use bathrooms and locker rooms based on their gender assigned at birth, a study published on Monday said.

“These policies are not abstract issues,” lead author Gabriel Murchison, a post-graduate student in population health-sciences at Harvard University, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. “They are associated with serious long-lasting effects on kids.” Murchison’s research drew on survey data from more than 3,600 transgender and non-binary students aged 13 to 17 collected by the Human Rights Campaign and the University of Connecticut in 2017.

When asked in a hearing before the House Education and Labor Committee in April if she knew of the risks the move posed to transgender students’ school performance and mental health, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said she did. She added that the her department’s Office of Civil Rights was dedicated to ensuring equal access to education.
