Support Transgender Youth in South Carolina
It’s Time to Defeat H.4608 / S.531!
About H. 4608 / S. 531
Bills Targeting Transgender Athletes
A group of South Carolina lawmakers are pushing legislation that unfairly and cruelly targets transgender girls for exclusion from school athletics. House Bill 4608 and Senate Bill 531, referred to as the so-called “Save Women’s Sports Act.” Take action against anti-transgender student athletics bills here.
Every student should be able to access the opportunities and lessons of school athletics. To categorically deny transgender students the freedom to play alongside their peers is completely at odds with lawmakers’ duties to care for and protect our youth.
Other Bills in SC:
Lawmakers in South Carolina are also considering House Bill 4047, a bill that would prohibit transgender people under the age of 18 from receiving essential medical care and create a school climate where they are unable to be themselves.
