Not only are e unwilling to accept people as who they are, we are bigod and rude the university of south dakota offers a safe place for students with varying genders and sexualities called spectrum. Members of the transgender bill passes in the state, which will force students to use restrooms according to the gender they were assigned when born, not the gender they idtentify with. For me, i do not neccesarily know all of the transgender terms or how to really talk about it in a way that wouldnt offend someone, but perosnally im angry at this bill, says satterlee. It can be a challenge for any child to find their way and alisha says the new bill, which was created to protect someones physical privacy, could make that process eveve more difficultlt especially for thehe transgender community. I think if we really want to protect the youth of south dakota, we have to allow for no discrimination, says satterlee. Really, everyone uses the restroom. Just to use the restroom, says bachmann. Jordy bachmann is a senior at usd. He was declared female by doctors at birth, but idtenifies as a male. He says the antitransgendnd bill would be a downfall for everyone. Its ve bigoted. Wergoing to lose a lot of opportunites like financially. Were going to lose funds because its a discrminatory bill and were going to lose federal funds for education. Its not just hurting transgender students, its hurting cis students as well, says bachmama. Both studentnt believe, the bills basis s to do with government officials intolerance of the lgbt community. Youre really just hurting someone whats happening, says satterlee.
