Trans youth are under attack.
Again.
HB0156: Education - Interscholastic and Intramural Junior Varsity and Varsity Teams - Designation Based on Sex (AKA Fairness in Girls’ Sports Act) has recently been (RE-)introduced
Page 2:
This bill (put forth by Republicans) aims to copy similar laws put in place in FL, GA, TX, and other Republican controlled states.
These bills aim to other trans student-athletes and in the end, outcast trans folks.

Page 3:
This othering of trans people has led to trans youth being at risk for bullying and violence from their peers.
These bills are sold as noble pursuits to protect girls in sports, but their main goal is to control the lives and privacy of trans athletes.

Trans kids deserve to be included in sports.
Republicans are trying to weaponize trans existence in a culture war that aims to erase and suppress trans voices.
