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

The proposed Arizona Senate Bill 1628, which seeks to redefine sex-based terms in laws, rules, and regulations, is concerning. The bill's rigid definitions of sex and gender, determined at birth and based on reproductive capabilities, disregard the lived experiences and identities of transgender and non-binary individuals. This approach perpetuates outdated notions of gender and could potentially legitimize discrimination based on gender identity. It is crucial to consider the potential harm this bill could cause to marginalized communities. Therefore, it is requested to reconsider the bill's language and implications, ensuring it aligns with the principles of inclusivity and respect for all identities. The focus should be on creating laws that protect and uphold the rights of all individuals, regardless of their gender identity.
