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 small thread of today's updates. 🧵
South Carolina H4608 passed house committee. This is a standard anti-trans sports bill, mandating that athletics at secondary + postsecondary schools divide athletics by "biological sex", using genitalia, genetics + testosterone.
South Carolina has also resurrected a very old bill from last year, S06531, which has passed committee. This is another standard anti-trans sports bill based on "biological sex", but without any clear definition on how that would be defined.
On this day of Trans Visibility, everyone please help stop hateful anti-trans bills from passing into law. YOU can go to transformationsproject.org to learn more and contact your representatives to #StepUpForTransKids!

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.

Unfortunately, the veto for Utah HB0011 was overturned. This is a sports bill that would have a commission inspect children to ensure they conform to "standards" for their assigned gender. This is a cruel and heartless bill that targets a literal handful to be inspected like meat
Missouri SB740 has a hearing tomorrow at 12pm CST. 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. Please attend if you are able!

New Hampshire has tabled their last bill, removing them from the board! Bill 1180 is dead, and would have proclaimed that amended birth certificates do not apply to athletics, prisons, or places of "intimate privacy”.
