This is horrible. The GOP just released a national anti-trans bill. It will not pass this year, but this shows their intentions if they win.

HB8170 would force teachers to:
- Misgender trans students.
- Out trans kids to their parents.
- Withhold affirming trans kids in therapy. pic.twitter.com/TEex2PHawr
The full bill text is linked here. The GOP intends to go full speed ahead against trans kids nationally. This is not a "don't say gay" bill. This is a "don't be trans bill."

This is a disaster if they win.https://t.co/NRH8SWDIoU
Fascists do this because they are upset by "the agility of the future".
Even though:
New research in the Journal Pediatrics finds that transgender youth are NOT suffering from social contagion and that transgender people are not identifying as transgender in order to "trans away the gay"/escape homophobia. pic.twitter.com/CtK9a3p9dj

See "Gender Identity 5 Years After Social Transition" (Pediatrics, July 13, 2022). They examined 317 children, at an average age of 8, who identified as transgender at the beginning of the study. "We found," the authors write, "that an average of 5 years after their initial social transition, most "identified as binary transgender youth (94%)...and 3.5% as nonbinary." Only 2.5% "identified as cisgender."
Update: California is a sanctuary state for trans kids. This law took effect Jan. 1, 2023. SENATOR WIENER’S HISTORIC BILL TO PROVIDE REFUGE FOR TRANS KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES SIGNED INTO LAW
However: "A newly formed group is petitioning to put an anti-transgender measure on the 2024 California ballot. The so-called Protect Kids of California Act of 2024 would ban gender-affirming care for minors, require school faculty to out students to parents, and repeal pre-existing protections for trans students." (Parents in California Are Petitioning to Get an Anti-Trans Initiative On the Ballot, James Factora, them, December 11, 2023)
Update: Maine may become a refuge state too. On January 15, 2024, there was a hearing on a bill "to ensure that transgender individuals and their families, who seek safety and medical care in the state, are not compelled to return to their home states by extremist attorneys general, possibly under the threat of arrest. It would also make arresting the parents of trans youth pursuant to out of state warrants the 'lowest law enforcement priority.'" Furthermore, Erin Reed explains:
"Importantly, this provision does not not imply, as some conservative accounts have proclaimed, that the state will 'take away trans kids from non-affirming parents.' Rather, this provision merely gives judges temporary jurisdiction over a kid present in the state. The state would still have to prove to a judge that a transgender teen is at risk of abuse or neglect if returned to their family in the exact same way the state would have to prove similar things about a cisgender kid....this clause enables parents in Maine to present their case to a judge and argue that gender-affirming care is in the child's best interest. The bill does not require the judge to rule in favor of the parent; it merely allows the court to consider the argument."

People will be like "it's my protected human right to not believe in gender ideology"

And, my dear sir or madam, that's fine but you work in a fucking gender clinic. It's like being a pro lifer at Planned Parenthood. You are in the wrong job, fuck off.
This is the myth that led my parents to reject me in 2003. Its original author was basically the only person writing on trans kids then and my parents mistakenly believed him. The 80% myth embarrassingly conflates gender nonconformity with transness. It has no place in discourse. https://t.co/ObXbcGteXs

It took 10 minutes to uncover the teacher "sacked for using wrong pronouns" has a social media footprint which compares being Trans to "child sacrifice" &"cannabalism", accuses Mermaids & others of "grooming" & clearly states a desire to leave teaching. It is never just pronouns. pic.twitter.com/DqcBdIiTyZ

I've held back publicizing this but Google has failed to act and is actively putting people in harms way. Anti trans activists have created a map of LGBTQ community centers, gender affirming care clinics, and non profit orgs. This is a page out of the anti abortion playbook. pic.twitter.com/r8et6FG8Li

If these ghouls were acting in good faith they would *want* social transition! Their entire argument is that kids who ask for gender affirming medical care can't possibly know whether they're "really" trans.

Social transition is how they find out! https://t.co/rMmcB55aOS
One big idea behind the "separate the LGB from the TQ" memes is to discourage gender nonconformity.
