The Iowa House approved the bill that would strip the state civil rights code of protections based on gender identity.

Opponents say it could expose transgender people to discrimination in numerous areas of life.

The legislation now goes to Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds , who has been supportive of efforts to limit gender identity protections.
