The coordinated effort to pass discriminatory legislation based on misinformation about gender and biological sex is unacceptable. This bill seeks to codify a narrow and unscientific definition of gender that invalidates the lived experiences of transgender and non-binary individuals. Such marginalizing policies promote prejudice, erode civil rights protections, and enable further discrimination against an already vulnerable population. I urge you to reject this harmful legislation and instead champion policies that promote equality, respect human dignity, and protect the rights of all citizens regardless of gender identity or expression. Embracing diversity and inclusivity strengthens our society.
