Video Made by Moms of Transgender Teens
Though their rights are protected under the U.S. constitution just like everybody else’s, many states across the country are still trying to pass legislation that discriminate against transgender people.
Many of these laws are coming from fear and a lack of understanding.
A group of moms and the Trans United Fund have shown in a new video that the fear-based legislation has real and awful consequences.
According to the video, more than 50 pieces of legislation in 20 states are threatening the rights, and the lives, of transgender people.
These laws include the North Carolina law that prohibits transgender people from using the bathroom that matches their gender identity, on which the governor of the state must decide today if he will comply with a federal mandate to not enforce the bill, or pursue a lawsuit against the Justice Department that defends the anti-LGBTQ law.
These laws don’t happen in a vacuum, though.
If you’re not transgender, you might not feel the impact of the discriminatory legislation, but transgender people feel it every day.
In the video, moms of transgender children voice those impacts, ones that put them in fear of losing their children.
