Trans rights are still under attack in the United States. Please go to transformationsproject.org to learn about your state and contact your reps. Here's a brief thread of today's updates. 🧵
Unfortunately, Florida H1557 has passed. This is the famous "Don't Say Gay" bill that prohibits classroom discussions about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary schools. Our hearts go out to those whose education shall be so damaged.
Missouri HB2197 + HB2734 + HB2461 all had a hearing in which lots of excellent testimony condemning the bill was heard! These bills are all anti-trans sports bills that would divide athletic participation by "biological sex" as determined by unmodified birth certificate.
Idaho HO675 passed the House State Affairs Committee. This bill would define any surgery performed for someone under the age of 18 to their "female" genitalia as FGM (Female Genital Mutilation), effectively banning bottom surgery for these people.
Kansas SB484 had a Senate hearing in which 125 pieces of testimony were submitted! This is an anti-trans sports bill that would ban "biological males" from girls sports. "Biological sex" is not defined in any way and there is no explanation for how it should be determined.
We know it feels overwhelming, but it's not too late to stop these and other hateful anti-trans bills. Please go to transformationsproject.org to learn about bills in your state and contact your representatives to #StepUpForTransKids!
