OPINION: 'And yet, despite all the governor is doing, trans girls and women will continue to do what we always have done: live, thrive, and support each other in spite of the state’s will that we not,' writes Z Nicolazzo,…
On Wednesday, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed two anti-trans bills into law: SB 1138 and SB 1165. In doing so, Arizona has become the fifth state to sign into law sports bans for trans girls, and one of a number of states that has legislated anti-trans health care into effect.
Furthermore, most voters believe health care ought to be a basic human right, including for trans people. Moreover, we cited in our letter that the nation’s foremost child health and welfare groups, which represent over 7 million professionals and 1,000 organizations, have called on states to oppose the very bills Gov. Ducey has just signed into law.
And yet, despite all the governor is doing, trans girls and women will continue to do what we always have done: live, thrive, and support each other in spite of the state’s will that we not.
