HB 121 discriminates against trans, intersex, and gender nonconforming Montanans--effectively banning them from bathrooms and other public facilities.-
This legislation is unnecessary and does not address any problems that currently exist in public facilities across Montana. Instead, it promotes stigmatization and discrimination, particularly for those whose identity does not match their sex assigned at birth.
Transgender individuals are part of our community, our families, our workplaces, and our neighborhoods and they, just like everyone else, need to safely access necessary facilities. State government facility bans like HB 121 make transgender people less safe, increase harassment of transgender people, and serve no public interest.
