Discrimination comes at a high cost, do you think South Dakota is ready to pay up? 🤔 To better understand the economic consequences of House Bill 1217, a bill that would ban trans girls from playing sports on teams that are consistent with their gender, we can look to what happened to North Carolina after they passed House Bill 2, an anti-trans bathroom bill.

The fight against House Bill 1217, a bill which would ban transgender girls from playing on sports teams consistent with their gender, is in the homestretch. Our time to beat this bill is limited.

🚨Right now, we need all hands on deck before #SDLeg votes on HB1217 on MONDAY.🚨 @govkristinoem recently issued a style and form veto to House Bill 1217, which #SDLeg will be voting on first.

Yet these revisions won't change the fact that this policy is harmful to trans South Dakotans, and a violation of Constitutional and federal civil rights law. ⚖️
