Take Action Now to Oppose AZ SB1628 Threatening Gender Equality and Human Rights

The proposed Arizona Senate Bill 1628, which rigidly defines sex and gender based on biological attributes, is a matter of concern. This bill disregards the lived experiences and identities of transgender and non-binary individuals by defining a person's sex as determined at birth and prohibiting any changes to it. Furthermore, it replaces the term "gender" with "sex" in discrimination laws, which could potentially legitimize discrimination based on gender identity. This bill perpetuates outdated notions of gender and could further marginalize already vulnerable communities. It is crucial to reconsider the implications of this bill and work towards legislation that respects and acknowledges all identities, rather than reinforcing harmful stereotypes and discrimination.
