Reject discriminatory bill targeting transgender students' rights and wellbeing.
To: Gov. DeWine
From: A verified voter in Columbus, OH
November 13
The proposed legislation banning students from using restrooms that align with their gender identity is deeply concerning and harmful to transgender youth. All students deserve to feel safe, respected, and able to fully participate in their education. Forcing trans students to use facilities that conflict with their gender identity puts them at risk of harassment, discrimination, and compromised mental health. This bill undermines the dignity, wellbeing, and equal rights of a vulnerable population. I urge you to oppose this discriminatory measure and instead prioritize policies that create an inclusive, supportive environment for all students to thrive academically and personally. Trans youth belong and have an equal claim to public accommodations. Please stand up for their basic rights and reject this misguided attack on their humanity.
