Reject transphobic HB2438, uphold human rights for all Arizonans.

HB2438, the "Birth Certificates; Amendments; Prohibition" bill, aims to restrict transgender and non-binary individuals' ability to update their birth certificates to accurately reflect their gender identity. This legislation would prevent crucial identity document changes, forcing many to carry IDs that do not match their lived reality. It is a blatant form of discrimination that denies the dignity and validity of transgender and non-binary lives. Obstructing someone's right to self-identification on legal documents creates unnecessary hardships across many aspects of daily life. This bill perpetuates harm against an already vulnerable population. I urge rejecting this attempt at trans erasure in favor of policies that uplift all Arizonans' human rights.
