Looks like Mississippi’s anti-trans sports bill passed the Senate yesterday- SB 2536. I wish I was exaggerating when I said this year is filled with the most relentless legislative attacks on trans lives that I have ever seen.

I realize it is easy to dismiss this & say well “it is just sports” but I think we need to break down what this really means. It is the new legitimization of de jure discrimination against trans people. The emergence in law of a new definition of “sex” designed to harm trans ppl

This will impact other areas of law and will legitimize the heightened surveillance of all people who do not fit into to binary norms of sex. And of course it codifies the exclusion of trans youth from opportunities available to their peers.

It is a nightmare. And we could be looking at 5-10 of these passing and some bills criminalizing health care too. If we don’t keep up the pressure with a mass movement we are going to be faced with a lot if hurt people. I hope we find the resources and will to fight. Onward!
