Trans rights are still brutally 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. It's a rough one.🧵
In the only good news of the day Kentucky SB83 has even vetoed by Governor Beshear. We can expect an override so this bill, an anti-trans sports ban, still needs our help. Please reach out to your representatives!
Tennessee HB800 has passed committee again, and is on the floor. In this “don’t teach gay” bill, it will prohibit any instructional materials from “normalizing and supporting” LGBTQ+ community. They want to remove us from existence
In very heartbreaking news Alabama SB184 + it's copy HB266 have passed and are going to the Governor to sign. These bills ban all medical care for transitioning up to age 19. This bill will kill and be absolutely detrimental to trans youth and their affirming relationships.
Additionally Alabama HB322 has also passed and is going to the Governor to sign. This bathroom bill will separate all public school bathrooms by “biological sex”, aka requiring students to provide a birth certificate to any who ask. It is a gross violation of privacy.
It's days like this where we remember why we need to fight. We are under attack, and cannot do this without working together. YOU can go to transformationsproject.org to learn more and contact your representatives to #StepUpForTransKids!

Georgia has adjourned it's legislative session and thus has had 5 bills cease to be active! These are SB435, SB266, HB401, HB372, and HB276. Most of these have not moved in some time and may be resurrected next session, but for now we can breathe a sigh of relief!

Alabama HB322 has passed the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee with a favorable report. It is now on the Senate floor and if passed, shall be sent to the Governor. This is a bathroom bill that applies to all public schools, and defines "biological sex" by birth certificate.
Ohio has introduced HB616, which although coached in language that claims to prevent racist ideas being taught, is in truth another one of the horrible "don't say gay or trans" laws. It is another attempt to ban our existences by pretending we do not exist.

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.

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.
