Block HR 734 and prevent gender from being defined as biological
8 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!
I am writing in regards to HR 734, a bill focused on preventing transgender individuals from participating in sports that uses the disguise of being about the safety of young girls to hide an attempt to define gender, specifically binary gender as biological. This bill would take away rights and autonomy from millions of Americans who don't identify with their assigned gender at birth, including people like me. I have been on testosterone since 2021, have my birth certificate changed, and cannot revert my hormones without risks to my health, and these policies will not stop at sports or harassing & violating child athlete's rights.
Defining gender as biological makes hormone care borderline impossible for intersex individuals, and could even impact access to hormone care for aging cisgender individuals who need testosterone, estrogen, or other hormones to manage menopause and loss of virility. It will also endanger healthcare, legal rights, and safety & security for every trans person in the United States.
Please do not approve this bill. Please fight against it and ask your fellow senators to stand against these policies. We have so little left. We will die.
Thank you.
