🚨MINNESOTA: HF 1657 not only bans transgender girls from participating in girls sports but actually imposes a criminal penalty ON CHILDREN.

HF 1657 threatens kids with arrest & juvenile detention for using the school locker room or playing sports.
🤯🤬
Once more, Minnesota lawmakers not only want to ban trans kids from sports - they want to fine or JAIL trans kids who play.

We are talking about kids. In school sports. Being criminally penalized for who they are.
Minnesota is the 1st state in the country to attempt to CRIMINALIZE trans kids in sport. We’ve seen extreme bills requiring genital inspections, but this is BEYOND.

#mnleg I’m calling in you to aggressively stop HF 1657 & send a clear message this is not okay. #protecttransyouth
Minnesota HF 1657 would fine or jail trans kids who play school sports - this bill is SO EXTREME that even though it won’t likely pass (if it does, y’all are MONSTERS), it makes looking at a child’s genitals seem like a middle ground.

That’s a problem.
It’s time to get loud - trans kids are not criminals. We need to shut this down quickly & clearly. DO NOT MESS WITH OUR KIDS.

🚨 WEST VIRGINIA: HB2141 would force trans kids in elementary & secondary school to play on sports teams by their "original birth certificate." But let me tell you about what happens when they don't have a birth certificate that designates "male" or "female" :
If an elementary or secondary school KID’s original birth certificate issued does not designate male or female, then participation in sporting events with and/or against others must be established by a "valid genetic test sampled from the applying athlete’s own bodily tissue"...
... to establish whether the applying athlete’s chromosomal makeup is XX (female) or XY (male). (My note: only two options here in the bill) Also: "The valid genetic testing required by this section must be conducted by a certified genetic testing provider."

🚨 IOWA: yesterday Iowa introduced HF 184, what I think is the WORST, most HORRENDOUS anti-trans bill targeting transgender student-athletes. Here's why it's awful:
(THREAD) #ialeg
Iowa HF 184, being billed as a "Save Women's Sports Act," would require student-athletes to participate in sports based on biological sex. This is similar to other bills introduced this year & last, but Iowa goes above & beyond in who they are targeting. #ialeg
Iowa HF 184 defines an “educational institution” as any public or accredited non-public school, regents institution, community college, or any other institution of higher education that is a member of the @NCAA or @NJCAA. It specifically names both NCAA & NJCAA. #ialeg

#mtleg is discussing HB112 right now, issuing an amendment.
proposal to take out all of the garbage background info from anti-trans advocates, conveniently after it was read and digested. passed... all this is out.
Katie Ledecky is being brought up - and her performances are being compared to men. LET'S BE CLEAR: Montana's HB112 is not about elite Olympian men competing against elite Olympian women.

YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS: Today the Trump administration announced it will allow anti-LGBTQ discrimination in all grants from
@HHSGov EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY TODAY.

Removing a requirement that recipients of grants from HHS enforce nondiscrimination rules that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity will allow adoption agencies to discriminate against LGBTQ people & still get federal funding. 2/

JOURNALISTS: when you're writing a piece about a transgender person, it is unnecessary to use their former name (if they changed their name). That's called "dead-naming."

"Dead-naming" is when someone says or publishes the name a transperson used prior to transition. 1/13
Not only is dead-naming unnecessary, but it's also bad practice and incredibly disrespectful. It's a way to sensationalize a story and to position trans people constantly as "other." 2/13
Revealing a transgender person’s birth name without their explicit permission is an invasion of privacy. It undermines a trans person’s true authentic identity and can put them at risk for discrimination, harassment, and violence. 3/13

REMINDERS:
Not all trans people take hormones.
Not every trans person has surgery.
Not all trans people change their names, pronouns, or ID.
Not every trans person hates their body.
Trans folks can be non-binary.

There's not just one way or a single "right" way to transition.
REMINDERS:
Transgender is a gender identity and not a sexual orientation.
Trans people can be straight, gay, bisexual, or any other sexual orientation.
It is inappropriate to ask a trans person who they sleep with, if they've "had the surgery," or how they have sex.
REMINDERS:
Transgender is an "umbrella term" meant to encompass many more specific identities.
FTM, MTF, transman, transwoman, gender queer, gender fluid, gender-expansive, non-binary & two-spirit fall under the umbrella.
Not every trans person will identify w/ one/some of those.
