LGBTQ advocates are warning that the influx of anti-transgender legislation being proposed in many states nationwide could have significant negative repercussions for trans youth

Twenty-eight states are considering anti-trans bills, according to the the American Civil Liberties Union . The bills put forth this year predominantly fall into two categorites: targeting the ability for trans girls and women to participate in school sports, and restricting young trans peoples' access to gender-affirming healthcare.

advocates, including Strangio, are concerned that the proposed laws will make it easier to limit trans people's access to health care."There have been many existential threats to trans existence, but there's something uniquely dangerous about what's going on right at this moment with the combination of the sports bills and the health care bills," Strangio told CNN.

Good!

« There is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth » Could you kindly clarify what you mean? This sounds a bit surprising. Thanks.

I think trans people should be in a straight jacket in a mental hospital. Just my opinion

Preventing trans girls (boys) from dominating biological (real) girls in sports competitions is to protect the rights of biological (real) girls. Everyone has rights. Not just the loudest and the most special.

This is an example of white older people using religious beliefs to try and get their beliefs passed by using GOD when it’s convenient and GOD when they want to install fear all in the name of keeping their jobs, not what’s best for us but them.

The negative repercussions against trans youth are much better that what pro LGBTQ legislation will negatively affect the girls in this nation. Its the girls who are at risk of losing their sports programs to a few tg females who will take all their scholarships and injure them.

Maybe this will let kids be kids then after 18 they can think about what they want to be.

In sports a man is stronger than a woman so make a transgender division

Human advocates are warning that the influx of pro-transgender legislation being proposed in many states nationwide will have significant negative repercussions for women.

Less than 1/2 of 1% of youths identify as 'trans'. Why should they be accommodated while jeapordizing the health & safety of normal youth? It's the opposite of democracy.

Course they are

Anti-transgender? Or maybe pro-woman? Pro-mental health?

Can you guys plz tell us how the pre script in the White House with Biden worked out for you fakenews still

Republicans can not stop attacking Americans.

Title IX

“Trans youth” You know who else had a “youth”...

Weird way of saying they’re protecting the overwhelming majority of girls and boys rights Science

So?
