Trans Advocates Warn Legislators: ‘Kids Are Going to Die’
Gender Infinity’s Andrea Segovia discusses the dangerous impact of the anti-trans legislation. (OutSmart Magazine) — A slew of anti-transgender bills are moving quickly through the Texas Legislature, and the consequences could be deadly, according to trans advocates.
Senate and House committees have already approved two bills that restrict trans children’s access to gender-affirming sports and health care. On Thursday, April 15, the House Public Health Committee passed out HB 1399 authored by Rep. Matt Krause (R-Tarrant County), which seeks to “intimidate parents and doctors into denying life-saving care to trans children,” according to the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT).
