Kansas is trying to separate transgender students from their peers, and keep them from fair and equitable access to sports. The bill will require traumatizing genital exams, it will teach our children to discriminate, and it instills into policy transgender exclusions in ways that hurt all children, but particularly queer youth that are already at some of the highest risk for dropping out of school and suicide. Our legislators need to hear from you.
The Senate needs to know that every time they consider a bill that threatens queer youth, Kansans are going to show up and oppose it. But we need your help. Below is the contact information for the Senate members that control the bill moving forward to the full Senate.
Please be courteous and respectful, but let them know your opposition to the bill and why.
