Oppose Iowa SF 418, protect LGBTQ+ youth and families

To: Gov. Reynolds

From: A verified voter in Fairfield, IA

February 28

SF 418's attempt to legally define "sex" and curtail discussions around gender identity likely violates equal protection and due process rights under the 14th Amendment. It discriminates against a class of people based on sex and transgender status, which the Supreme Court has recognized as deserving heightened scrutiny. The bill disregards current medical consensus and would negatively impact LGBTQ+ youth, infringing on their fundamental rights. Legal experts argue such legislation is unconstitutional and harmful. I urge opposition to this regressive bill that promotes discrimination.
