Prefiled a week ago, MO HB.1739 also contains provisions to protect staff who report their colleagues for affirming trans youth. Teachers barred from employment for violating this law will also have their teaching licenses revoked.
The last provision also appears to stipulate that parents cannot consent to their kids being affirmed, as only the original birth certificate can be used to determine sex.
I live in St. Louis, Missouri in a part of town that is loaded with LGBTQ folks. I love my friends, most of the rest of the state is lost and I hate them. They're fucked.
sure, let's have all the trans people move into illinois and a) abandon every trans person not able to move to illinois, and b) let missouri keep passing transphobic bills. what do you want me and my friends to do every time we might need to go into the city for something like work?
how do you expect me to visit my parents, or the rest of my family? or am i supposed to give that up so i can supposedly live without fear of it just happening there in a few years?
