There are now several of these bills working their way through the State House. SB552, like the other bills vetoed by the Governor, is legalized discrimination and serves no purpose other than to harm a small, already vulnerable population. There is no proof cis people are in danger from having trans people use bathrooms and locker rooms. Trans people, however, are very vulnerable to harassment and physical violence in these spaces. In addition, the atmosphere of hate and misinformation created by these bills leaves trans people, especially trans youth, much more likely to harm themselves. Cis people are also harmed by these bills as those who don't fit sex stereotypes are often wrongfully misgendered, harassed and physically harmed. Please ITL SB552.
