Anti-trans bills

Danica Roem explains that Republicans are pushing anti-trans bills in part to prove to each other that they are not “insufficiently conservative.”

“Trans kids deserve the same opportunity that made my NFL career possible.”

Now that they have overridden one veto from the governor, the Arkansas legislature is not letting up on the gas pedal – and is determined to make the state the nation’s leader in anti-trans legislation.

President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland could consider taking legal action, the White House stated. But they’re not announcing any decisions – yet.

Trans rights advocates celebrated when Gov. Asa Hutchinson vetoed this bill yesterday. The legislature overrode his veto today.

Louisiana Sen. Mike Fesi proposed a bill to require a parent signature for gender-affirming health care to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.

The new Assistant Secretary of Health said that “I think that people fear what they don’t understand.”

The Human Rights Campaign aired a version of their ad during March Madness specifically shaming the governor of Arkansas.

The religious right is using the same tactics, for the same reasons, to stop medical treatment or sports for trans youth as it has against abortion providers.

Bills attacking trans women athletes and trans youth are pending in at least 24 states, part of a GOP effort to find a wedge issue to use in 2022. They must have forgot what happen in North Carolina.
