For Transgender Week of Visibility and Action, let’s commit to elevating trans and nonbinary voices and taking action to stop the passage of these dangerous bills. Today through Friday, let’s focus on Arkansas.
Two bills we need to take action on in Arkansas:
🚨HB1570 bans healthcare for trans youth & insurance coverage for all trans people.
🚨SB354 bans trans women & girls from sport & polices all women’s bodies in sport.

Join me in calling on @AsaHutchinson to VETO HB1570 & SB354
More about HB1570, a terrifying bill that would take away a parent’s right to make informed decisions about their child’s care, and impact every trans person’s insurance coverage:
More about SB354, which would ban girls and women who are transgender from playing sports, from elementary school through college:
Today’s action for #transweekofaction: call and email Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson & tell him to veto HB1570 & SB354.

Arkansas Governor @AsaHutchinson signed the anti-trans sports bill into law today.

We've explained how harmful this is to trans athletes & all women. Here we are, with it in law. It is incredibly hurtful, but SOMETHING MUCH WORSE is still up & we need to take action RIGHT NOW ⬇️
Arkansas HB1570, the bill that would ban healthcare for trans people in Arkansas, is NOT LAW YET. We can still protect healthcare for trans kids, but we need to mobilize RIGHT NOW.
As a reminder, HB1570 would ban gender affirming health care, taking away a patient's personal treatment options & undermining the prevailing recommendations of EVERY major medical association.

🚨NORTH DAKOTA residents: HB1298 is delayed, giving you a bit of extra time to reach out to your senators TODAY & tell them to vote NO.
You can personalize a message to your senators here: act.prairieactionnd.org/letter/HB-1298…
HB 1298 bans transgender youth in North Dakota from playing on sports teams that align with their gender identity. This bill is discriminatory & dangerous to North Dakota's youth.

🚨ARKANSAS SB289 says doctors & other medical providers are “not required to participate in a healthcare service” if doing so would violate their religious or moral beliefs by far, this is vthe nation’s worst anti-LGBTQ+ healthcare refusal law.
SB 289, the nation’s most extreme anti-LGBTQ healthcare bill, is at the Governor’s desk. If signed into law, it would apply to everything including counseling & therapy, general medicine, PReP, hormones & other affirming care, as well as ambulance, EMT care & insurance coverage.
ARKANSAS has 3 anti-LGBTQ bills dangerously close to passing. No matter where you live, please contact Governor @AsaHutchinson & tell him to VETO SB289

CURRENT STATUS of Anti-trans sports bills across the United States:
#LetKidsPlay Image
In 2021, anti-trans sports bills gave been defeated in South Carolina & Utah, but signed into law in Mississippi. And 25 other states have pending legislation.
Recently, in part because of the hard work of organizing & public outreach (thank you to everyone who contacted her), the South Dakota governor vetoed HB1217 - but sent it back to lawmakers to edit & try again.

🚨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

🚨 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."
