This bill would ban trans-affirming medical care for minors and require that schools out trans minors to their parents. Please contact your reps to oppose this hateful bill.
Florida H1557 is currently being heard in committee. This bill, nicknamed the "don't say gay" bill, would prevent school professionals from mentioning LGBT identities whatsoever in schools.
South Dakota HB1005 is up for committee vote today. This bill would divide all multi-occupancy sleeping quarters, bathrooms and changing facilities by sex assigned at birth rather than by gender.
It's not too late to stop these or other hateful anti-trans bills. Please go to transformationsproject.org to learn about harmful bills proposed in your state and to contact your representatives to #StepUpForTransKids!

Trans rights are still under threat in the United States. Here's a thread of today's updates. 🧵
Kansas introduced HB484, a bill which would mandate that school athletics be divided based on "biological sex". "Males" would then be banned from participating on "female teams". The bill does not specify how these categories are to be defined or determined.
South Carolina HB4608 got additional sponsors. This bill would mandate that school athletics be divided by "biological sex" as determined by genitals, genetics and testosterone levels. It then bars "males" from "female sports". This places a selective cost on girls athletics.
