"There is no need or public desire for anti-trans legislation, yet trans people's lives are being put in danger in an attempt to sow division among the general public. In nearly every case, sponsors of anti-trans bills cannot cite a single instance where the participation of trans girls in girls' sports teams led to unfair competition. Polls show that the majority of voters believe that trans people should be able to live openly and freely and receive medical care. Earlier this month, many of the nation's leading child health and welfare groups-representing over 7 million professionals and 1000 organizations-called on states to oppose the wave of anti-trans bills." -- from a Google doc titled: By April 2: All Educators and Educational Scholars are Invited to Sign this Open Letter to Support Trans Youth

Only educators and education scholars are invited to sign, but the contents of the open letter include points everyone can use in favour of supporting trans youth and opposing the torrent of anti-trans bills in state legislators this spring.

[A blessed Good Friday to everyone observing it today.]

Signal boosted. FWIW, my son is trans and I'm extremely proud of him. And furious on his behalf.
