So, I don’t usually post about this kind of thing, but the United States Senate is currently voting on HR 2616 and HR 2617, the “Protect Kids” Act and the “Say No to Indoctrination” Act. If passed, these bills would force teachers in every federally funded school across the country to deadname and misgender their trans students, to out their trans students to their parents, and essentially to ignore the existence of trans people (source). As a trans person who grew up in the USAmerican public school system and volunteers in my local elementary schools, I would really appreciate if my fellow USAmericans took the time to contact their senators. It takes just five minutes to call your senators using this link, which (1) provides your senators’ phone numbers for you when you input the town in which you live and (2) provides you with a short script to read. Thank you. Protect trans kids.
