More Info:
Sponsored by 9 GOP members of the House, this bill excludes transgender people from federal civil rights protections against gender discrimination, banning gender identity as “a protected class in Federal law or policy” without congressional approval.
Hate-based laws fuels anti-trans attitudes and sends a message to trans people that their rights and lives are unimportant.
