HR 5HR734 of Support Trans and Intersex Youth
Dear John,
Early this month, House members introduced two bad bills that will
have dire consequences for trans and intersex kids across this
country:
1. HR 734

: which claims that Title IX compliance requires a federal ban
of transgender & intersex girls and women from
participating in sports. This bill would prohibit transgender
& intersex women and girls across the country from
accessing the proven social, mental, and physical benefits of
sports, and it fails to take into account recent research and

policies at the highest level of sport, which affirms that
transgender women do not have any inherent advantage in sport.
Instead of ensuring policies would make kids feel safe and
supported at school, this bill aims to cut another safe space
for intersex and trans youth.

2. "Parent Bill of Rights

" or HR 5: In reality, this would hurt the ability
of parents to support their children. This bill would
undermine local control, insert the federal government as a
national school board, and promote censorship and book bans.
This government interference would only disrupt the education
system and cut trans and intersex youth off from accessing the
resources and support they need to thrive. HR 5 would
undermine our communities and increase animosity against LGBTQ
families and families of color- and often, our youth are a
part of both.
Reach out to your legislators TODAY and urge them to vote NO on both
bills.
