| Having solved all other problems, the democrats unveil 'Transgender bill of rights' |
| 2022-06-30 |
| [TheHill] A group of House Democrats on Tuesday announced they would move to codify federal protections for transgender people. The proposal, dubbed the “Transgender Bill of Rights,” would codify the Supreme Court’s 2020 Bostock v. Clayton County decision that protects employees against discrimination for being gay or transgender. The proposal would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to explicitly include protections for gender identity and sex characteristics, expand access to gender-affirming care and ban conversion therapy. It would also require the attorney general to designate a liaison dedicated to overseeing enforcement of civil rights for transgender people and invest in community services to prevent anti-transgender violence. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and co-chair of the Transgender Equality Task Force, said in a statement that the resolution would ensure transgender people can lead “full, happy lives.” “As we witness Republicans and an extremist Supreme Court attack and roll back the fundamental rights of trans people across our country, and as state legislatures across the country target our trans community with hateful, bigoted and transphobic attacks, we are standing up and saying enough is enough,” Jayapal said. Jayapal introduced the proposal alongside Reps. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), Marie Newman (D-Ill.), Mark Takano (D-Calif.) and Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.). The bill has 84 other co-sponsors. The bill’s proponents cited Friday’s Supreme Court decision overturning the constitutional right to an abortion. |

| #5 I don’t think this will get support of 2/3 of the states if brought forward as an amendment to the constitution. It is probably intended to be implemented some other illegitimate way so it is named in a way to stifle opposition. Somebody will rename it more accurately as a Groomer Bill of Rights and people will argue. |

| #4 The people writing this shit and passing it are just as mentally ill as the trans genders. It's amazing the amount of people in this country that are just stupid as shit for electing these assholes. |

| #3 The Dems come up with yet another means of dividing people and ticking them off. The current Bill of Rights should be sufficient for all Americans. |

| #1 I think the transgenders should have the right, nay, encouraged to seek and receive mental treatments. |
