Protestors gathered at the Utah State Capitol today to speak out against H.B 257, which would prohibit transgender individuals from using restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity in publicly owned and operated buildings, including public universities and K-12 schools. The bill is one of two pieces of legislation restricting transgender.
With the recent wave of anti-trans legislation in Utah and across the country, visibility is a complicated experience for many trans people. But at USU’s Trans Day of Visibility event on Friday, visibility meant community, not scrutiny.
