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. 🧵
Tennessee HB2835 has been taken off Committee calendar, potentially killing the bill!! This bill would ban all trans-affirming medical care for minors. It also prevents any state funds from being given to insurance companies that cover trans-affirming medical care for anyone.
Kansas SB484 has now officially entered the House, and will be assigned a committee shortly. This is sports bill, banning athletes based on "biological sex", without a clear definition of how that shall be determined.
Illinois HB4082 has added a sponsor, the first movement on this bill since the new year. It is another sports bill like the rest, defining "biological sex" on a students reproductive anatomy and genetics at birth. In practice, this means their birth certificate.
Finally, Louisiana HB37 has been introduced and received by the House Education Committee. This is a bill that bans teachers from speaking about gender identity or sexual orientation in any capacity, both personally and more generally. This is a "don't say trans" bill.
Remember, 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!
One addendum. Utah HB0011 has been vetoed by the governor but there is a concerted effort going on to override that veto. NOW is the time to contact your representatives and tell them to vote NO on HB0011. This is a sports bill that would have a commission inspect children.
