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 thread of today's updates. 🧵
Arizona SB1138 and SB1165 were signed by the governor today. These bills prohibit access to trans affirming health care and block trans women from competing athletically with their peers. Both bills are harmful and destructive, not to mention cruel
Oklahoma SB2, a hold-over bill from last session has also been signed into law. This is a standard sports bill that has the added delight of declaring trans kids in sports to be an "emergency", never mind all else that has been happening.
Missouri SB740 had a hearing scheduled for today but was not heard. This is a large "religious freedom" bill centering on student education that allows parents to interfere massively in their child's education combined with a “standard” anti-trans sports bill.
Missouri SB 781 is prepping for the Senate floor. This is an anti-trans sports bill that requires the schools to have separate teams for females and males or coed and that all athletes must use their “biological sex” to be on a team.
Tennessee HB 2633 passed the House Finance, Ways and Means committee. Under this bill teachers and staff will not be required to use pronouns other than those corresponding with their “biological sex”.
Despite how hard today was, it's not too late to stop other hateful anti-trans bills from passing into law. YOU can go to transformationsproject.org to learn more and contact your representatives to #StepUpForTransKids!
