The families asking the court to block the law are proceeding anonymously due to the risk of criminal prosecution under SB 184
"The faculty put on a drag show for children. That’s not education, it’s exploitation. It’s got to stop. It’s time to fight back”
“Ivey’s signing SB 184 into law goes directly against the best advice of the medical community- intrudes on the rights of parents & families"
Including a bill that would criminalize doctors for providing best-practice, gender-affirming care to transgender and nonbinary youth
“If passed and signed into law, Alabama will have the most deadly, sweeping, and hostile law targeting transgender people in the country”
The criminalization of trans children and their parents leads to increased mental health issues and even suicide
While not all transgender people want or need surgery, it can often be inaccessible or unaffordable to those that do
In Alabama and Idaho, local news outlets largely fail to check misinformation behind bills to ban health care for trans youth
“Anti-LGBTQ+ elected officials are using this divisive political strategy to harm kids who are simply trying to navigate their adolescence"
The language is clearly targeting Trans female youth. The bill will now head to the full Senate for consideration
