2 states have passed full bans on trans healthcare

3 states have passed full bathroom bans

4 states have passed full curriculum restrictions for gender education

6 states have passed full parental disclosure bans services that affirm gender or treat gender dysphoria.”

There is no genuine need for anti-trans legislation. According to AP News, among a total of 27 studies involving 8,000 transgender individuals who had undergone gender-affirming surgery, only 1% expressed regret for the procedure.

Right-wing extremists don’t promote anti-trans policies because they care about their constituents; they do it because it keeps their supporters in a state of fear. Their tactic is to claim that if the so-called woke agenda takes over America, if a man can decide he’s a woman, then America will go in the gutter. Then, they claim that this is why you need to vote for them in the upcoming election. This has nothing to do with safety; it has to do with power.

Florida State Rep. Webster Barnaby (R) even went so far as to refer to transgender people as “mutants from another planet.” In addition, conservative commentator Micheal Knowles called for “transgenderism” to be “eradicated from public life entirely” at the Conservative Political Action Conference. This dehumanizing and violent rhetoric should ring alarm bells for everyone.
