H.R. 6432 - Discriminatory Prohibition of Inclusive Language Policies The proposed "Safeguarding Honest Speech Act" H.R. 6432 undermines basic human dignity and respect for transgender and gender non-conforming individuals. By prohibiting the use of federal funds to enforce policies allowing people to use their preferred names and pronouns, it perpetuates discrimination and marginalizes an already vulnerable group. Every person deserves to have their identity recognized and affirmed. This bill promotes harmful narratives that invalidate transgender and non-binary identities. It contradicts principles of inclusivity, equity, and respect for human rights.
