Seven Things Legislators Need to Know about Bathroom Rights

Even if we push back this awful bill in South Dakota, more will pop-up around the country. Do our leaders and rights organizations have the energy, money, and time to play whack-a-mole with bathroom laws across all 50 states? I don't think so.

We need a better solution than jetting across country whenever these bills move forward.

20 members of the South Dakota senate and 58 members of the house voted in favor of the bill. Some of those may be vicious haters of transgender people, but I'd like to believe that a fair number simply didn't understand how difficult HB 1008 would make life for its victims. I would claim that's our fault. The responsibility for educating legislators about our lives falls squarely on our shoulders.
