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

The passage of SB1628, which rigidly defines sex and gender based on birth and reproductive capabilities, disregards the lived experiences and identities of transgender and non-binary individuals. This bill's narrow definitions perpetuate outdated notions of gender and potentially legitimize discrimination based on gender identity by replacing the term "gender" with "sex" in discrimination laws. It is crucial to reconsider this bill, taking into account the diverse experiences and identities of all individuals. The legislation should reflect an understanding and acceptance of gender as a spectrum, rather than a binary concept. This would ensure that discrimination laws protect everyone, regardless of their gender identity.
