Trans rights are still under attack in the United States. Please visit our website linked below to learn about your state and contact your reps. Today, there are 5 moved bills, 6 new anti-trans bills, and 3 GOOD bills! Here's a thread of today's updates 🧵 ⬇️
Today's birth certificate bills: 1. North Dakota HB1474 was introduced. 2. Oklahoma SB731 pre-filed an abortion bill & sex definition bill. 3. New Hampshire HB396 has a hearing on the 26th (Link -> gencourt.state.nh.us/house/committe…).
Birth certificate bills try to make it harder for trans folks to have ID match their gender identity. They tend to force a male or female designation based upon sex assigned at birth. Some ban a non-binary “X” marker or require surgery to update a birth certificate.
Two drag ban bills updates today: 1. Texas SB476 was filed. 2. Arkansas SB43 was amended and on senate floor with the recommendation of "Do Pass."
Drag bans restrict access for folks who are gender non-conforming in any way. They loosely define drag as any public performance with an “opposite gender expression,” as sexual in nature, and inappropriate for children. This also pushes trans individuals out of public spaces.
Today in healthcare bills: 1. Oklahoma HB1466 was pre-filed. 2. South Carolina HB3730 was introduced and sent to the House Judiciary Committee.
Healthcare bills go against professional and scientific consensus that gender affirming care saves lives. Denying access will cause harm. Providers are faced with criminal charges, parents are threatened with child abuse charges, and intersex children are typically exempted.
Schooling bill updates: 1. Indiana SB413 & Indiana SB386 were introduced and sent to the Senate Education and Career Development Committee. 2. Oklahoma HB1781 was pre-filed. 3. Missouri SB42 has a hearing on the 24th.
4. UT SB0100 passed committee and is now on the senate floor. 5. Wyoming SF0117 is having a hearing tomorrow.
Schooling bills force schools to misgender or deadname students, ban instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity, and make schools alert parents if they suspect a child is trans. They remove life-saving affirmation and support for trans youth. #ProtectTransKids
Today in sports bans: Wyoming HB187 was introduced which includes specifying physical characteristics for what qualifies a gender, and granting officials immunity for the rules they make.
Most sports bills force schools to designate teams by sex assigned at birth. They are often one-sided and ban trans girls from playing on teams consistent with their gender identity. Some egregious bills even force invasive genital examinations on student athletes.
In positive news, we have more details on the gender codifying bill, North Dakota SB2199, that failed committee. It face-planted with 0 votes and 92 against. The room was packed with trans supporters and activists. There were no enforcement, funding, or implementation plans.
It's not too late to stop these and other hateful anti-trans bills from passing into law. You can go to transformationsproject.org to learn more and contact your representatives. #TransRights

It's another day for both pro- and anti-trans legislative updates for trans folks in the U.S. Here's a very brief thread of today's updates, starting with bills restricting trans rights. 🧵
OK SB129 Would make it a felony to provide any 'gender transition procedure' to anyone under twenty-six years old. This would forcibly detransition every trans person in the state under that age. As usual, this restriction does not extend to intersex individuals.
MO HB540 Would ban gender affirming care for anyone under 18 (except for intersex people) and withold publilc funds from any individual, entity, or org that provides such services.

Today we are sharing both pro- and anti-trans legislative updates for trans folks in the U.S. Here's a very brief thread of today's updates, starting with bills restricting trans rights. 🧵⬇️
KY HB30 (1/3) an "emergency" bathroom bill, is being sent to committee. This describes transgender youth as predators and effectively bans them from using school restrooms, locker rooms, and shower rooms.
MT SB99 (1/3) filed and referred to Senate Public Health, Welfare, & Safety committee, a health care ban bill that would also attack public funds. This bill would medically detransition all transgender youth in the state & represents an enormous threat to trans youth in Montana.

Alaska HB140 has a hearing scheduled for 4/29 @ 1:30pm Alaskan time, the requirement for a hearing notification has been waived. This is another anti-trans sports bill based on "biological sex", but without any clear definition on how that would be defined.
Missouri HB1973 has officially passed the House today(4/28). The anti-trans sports bill would require school athletics to limit participation based on sex designation on their birth certificate.

Missouri HB1973 has been perfected with amendments and has passed the House. The anti-trans sports bill would require school athletics to limit participation based on sex designation on their birth certificate.
Tennessee SB2777 was to be addressed today but was not. This bill may be dead and we will continue to watch it. This bill explicitly allows school professionals to deadname and misgender trans students in their care and protects them from legal or workspace consequences
