🚨🧵 THREAD: The Senate Public Safety Committee is about to hear SB 185, a bill which seeks to deny coverage of medical care for transgender inmates in Georgia's jails and prisons. This is an unconstitutional denial of care.

Re: the sex definition piece of HB 267:

A court in Montana just ruled today that their sex redefinition law is unconstitutional: bsky.app/profile/erin...

With legal challenges likely, if this bill passes, Georgia tax-payers would be forced to foot the bill in defense of discrimination in court.
Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.

This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on!

Huge win for trans people in MT!

“The government has no business stripping away medically necessary care from anyone, including transgender youth or adults. Once we concede that the government has this power, all of our care is at risk.”

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 We need your voice! Anti-equality legislators have been moving quickly to attack dignity and health care access for transgender Georgians with cruel legislation that would hurt us all. We've set up a quick tool for you to be automatically connected to your state elected officials.

We all want school sports to be fair and safe. But Congress will soon vote on a federal sports ban that would violate the safety and privacy of all girls.

Tell Congress to get back to the business of lowering costs and leave trans kids alone: hrc.im/nosportsban

BREAKING: The Senate has passed the National Defense Authorization Act WITH a provision that blocks health care for trans youth of military families.

President Biden must end this cruelty and uphold his promise to protect LGBTQ+ Americans by vetoing this bill.
