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. 🧵

To start us off with some good news in this depressing reality, Wyoming SF0051 failed!! 🎉This was another anti-trans sports bill that would ban "biological males" from girls sports.

New Jersey A3209 has been introduced and referred to the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee. This would require DOC to assign transgender inmate to the correctional facility based on inmate's gender identity, and use their preferred pronouns.

New Hampshire HB1077 had an Executive Session held on 3/7; the bill would be repealing the prohibition on conversion therapy for minors.

Idaho H0675 passed the House, into Senate. This bill would define any surgery performed for someone under the age of 18 to their genitalia as Genital Mutilation, effectively banning bottom surgery for these people. It also makes leaving the state for such procedures a felony.

Missouri SB781 has passed the Senate Education Committee. 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.

Tennessee HB0800 passed the House finance committee. This bill prohibits textbooks from recommending or listing any instructional materials that promote, normalize, support, or address lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, or transgender issues or lifestyles. They are trying to ban our lives

Tennessee HB2835 3/8 deferred until (3/15). This bill would ban trans-affirming medical care for minors and force schools to out trans students to their parents. This bill would kill.

Tennessee HB2633 has passed the k-12 subcommittee. This bill would explicitly allow school professionals to deadname and misgender their trans students and protect them from legal or workplace consequences for doing so. This bill exists only to promote cruelty.

Kentucky SB83 in House education committee, and had a hearing today. This bill is an anti-trans sport bill that would divide athletic participation by "biological sex" which is not defined in any way and there is no explanation for how it should be determined.

Alabama HB322 is in the Senate Government Affairs committee. This bill states that public K-12 schools must require all multi-occupancy student restrooms, locker rooms, etc to be used exclusively by individuals based on their “biological sex”, aka Unchanged Birth Certificate.

Arizona SB1138 has passed out of the House Judiciary Committee. This is a bill that bans any GRC procedures to those under 18. Exceptions are made for "correcting" intersex conditions or to treat infection/a physical condition.

Finally, Arizona SB1165 has also passed the House Judiciary Committee. This bill is an anti-trans sport bill that would divide athletic participation by "biological sex" without any proper definition of that term

Thank you All for reading and for fighting the good fight! It's not too late to stop these and other hateful bills. Please go to transformationsproject.org to learn about anti-trans bills in your state and to contact your representatives to #StepUpForTransKids!
