Trump just straight-out claiming that trans people don't legitimately exist. Says he wants a bill "criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in their own body. This is a big lie."

PA Residents: Please call your state rep. and oppose Robert Leadbeter’s plans to introduce a bill that makes it a third degree felony to allow a minor to attend anything with a drag queen. He is trying to erase queer people by hindering pride festivals, library drag story-hours, and more.
