We are watching the #okleg house interim study regarding Sex Education and the Sexualization of Minors. All sponsors of this study are known for introducing anti-2SLGBTQ+ legislation. Wow, we are already starting off on hateful rhetoric.

The first speaker, David Pickup, is a licensed psychotherapist in Texas and California who endorses conversion therapy. He states that nobody is born gay or transgender.

Pickup moves on to talk about pornography in schools.

We are at the #okleg hearing for SB3XX (transgender healthcare ban).

Sen. Treat (author) said he never walked the halls of OU Health or OU Children’s personally and just heard about the gender affirming care they provided this June. Sen. Hicks asks Sen. Treat if he is aware of the American Academy of Pediatricians stance on gender affirming care.

Sen. Hicks asks if our legislature if going to ignore best practices medical care supported by numerous medical associations.

As if today wasn’t enough, the #okleg house floor is hearing SB 615 (bathroom ban for trans students) now. If it passes, it will go to the Governor for signature. Rep. Ranson: Did the school district in question request the Oklahoma legislature to author a bill like this?

Rep. Kevin West: In a roundabout way, they did.

So no.

Plan B and IUDs are specifically omitted from HB 4327, the total abortion ban at fertilization w/ bounty hunter enforcement.

Please do not spread misinformation that would prevent somebody from accessing the contraception they need. HB 4327 (total abortion ban at fertilization) is being heard on the #okleg house floor now. If it passes, it will head straight to the Governor’s desk for signature.

This includes an emergency clause which means it will become immediately effective upon signature.

Today #okleg will be hearing:

SB 615: A bathroom ban for trans students with a 5% cut to funding for public schools that don’t comply.

HB 4327: Total abortion ban starting at fertilization w/ bounty hunter enforcement. (Excludes emergency contraception). SB 615 (bathroom ban for trans students) is being heard now.

It includes “reasonable accommodations” for trans students, meaning they would either be outed using a restroom that didn’t align with their gender identity or be outed using a separate single-user restroom.
