7 tips to help you observe Trans Day of Visibility
Amid a global pandemic, and on the eve of Trans Day of Visibility, Idaho Gov. Brad Little still found a way to limit transgender rights, signing two bills into law on Monday night. HB 500 and HB 509 will both restrict the rights of trans individuals in the state.
The former prohibits trans girls from participating on women's sports teams, while the latter bans trans individuals from obtaining a new birth certificate portraying their accurate gender identity.
With the timing of the laws, one thing becomes clear: Attacks on trans rights aren't stopping for anything.
