In today's passionate episode, host Beau Bradley (he/they) discussed Transgender Day of Visibility, and the current anti-trans movement in state legislature, that is unconstitutionally attempting to dissolve medical care for transgender individuals including stopping access to health insurance, stopping hormone therapy, gender affirming care, and mental health access. Some of these bills make it illegal for doctors and other medical professionals to treat their transgender patients without facing the penalty of jail. These and similar anti-trans bills are being introduced in at least 26 states across the U.S., as a result of the current administration's push of the Equality Act.
In this short one on one with Beau, he breaks down what gender affirming care looks like, why it's necessary and why these bills are in direct violation of human and civil rights. Then they discuss anti-trans sports bills targeting all athletes in women's sports with new regulations such as gender policing, which involves invasive genital exams to participate in women's sports, state maintained registries of athlete's genders and more. Has anyone stopped to ask why the cis white men in these court hearings aren't threatened by trans men in men's sports? It's all smoke in mirrors.
Discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, gender, and age is prohibited by federal law. So call your representatives and the representatives below, TODAY... to get these terrible inhuman laws vetoed.
