This year is on pace to see more legislation targeting transgender youth than any prior year, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
"This is something that has been building over the course of the last three years," said Kate Oakley, the organization's state legislative director and senior counsel."We're very much on track to surpass last year's 150 [pieces of legislation] record."
The policies show a trend in Republican legislatures to push what they see as an animating issue for their base, in the face of outrage from LGBTQ+ groups and vetoes by some Republican governors. "I don't understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do," Cox said in a statement."But I want them to live. And all the research shows that even a little acceptance and connection can reduce suicidality significantly."
"As individuals transition, and they choose a name that suits them, whether I agree or disagree with their transition, my job as a teacher is to support and validate who they are," said Jackson, a National Board-certified instructor who teaches fourth grade in Pell City, Alabama. Asked if it would have hurt Alabama Governor Kay Ivey politically in her primary race if she hadn't signed the bill, Wahl said,"It definitely would have." Ivey is being challenged on the right by Lindy Blanchard, a former ambassador to Slovenia who is backed by former President Trump.
