We have a lot of movement on anti-trans bills. It is happening quickly, relentlessly and all over. Here is what is happening in the next few days. And remember, you can contact your reps, share supportive content, and help make sure people are aware.
This morning in South Dakota, there will be a Senate committee vote on HB 1076, the anti-trans birth certificate bill. 10 AM in Senate Health and Human Services. Tell #SDLeg to vote no on HB 1076. Bill info: https://sdlegislature.gov/Session/Bill/22138
South Dakota has also - for the 4th time in 7 years - introduced a bill to ban trans athletes from sports. Again, the false rhetoric of trans dominance in sports is causing the proliferation of these bills. This is HB 1217. It will likely be heard in committee next week.
Alabama has schedule a hearing on HB 1 (THE FIRST FILED BILL), which would make it a FELONY to provide life-saving treatment to trans youth AND force school staff to out trans and questioning youth. Hearing set for Wed at 1:30. https://legiscan.com/AL/bill/HB1/2021.
In Georgia, HB 276, was just filed. The bill targets trans women and girls in sports and would codify restrictive definitions of sex that will incite the policing of all young women and girl athletes. https://www.ajc.com/politics/georgia-bill-would-make-transgender-youth-compete-as-gender-identified-at-birth/KOTY2VNS7JFOLHJO7QER3XJZSI/
There are already over 30 bills. More are being filed every day. Proposals are being pushed in Congress. Fox News is spreading anti-trans rhetoric every day. There are campaigns growing to police trans bodies. We are at crisis point.
