Concerns about HB0257's Impact on Transgender Safety and Inclusivity

To: Rep. Briscoe, Sen. Plumb, Gov. Cox

From: A constituent in Salt Lake City, UT

January 23

The potential impact of "HB0257" on the safety of transgender individuals, who are already at a fourfold higher risk of violent crimes compared to cisgender individuals, is deeply concerning. The stipulation for transgender people to use unisex bathrooms could heighten this risk. This bill does not reflect the values of Utah, a state that should strive for safety and inclusivity for all its residents. It is imperative to oppose this bill in its current form at all stages of the legislative process.
