Are being passed against us in using bathrooms…
Safety! Are you kidding me? Who gets attacked in bathrooms? It is the trans child who get attacked by cis-people! And this law will put us at risk, can you imagine what might happen if a trans girl uses the boys bathroom?
This is just another attempt to spread fear of us with their lies! We are the ones being attacked!
Yesterday at the rally for our human rights there were protesters there, they were kept away but once in a while in the silence between speakers you could hear their vitriol chants.
So what this bill really does it punishes “out” trans people! Have you ever met a trans child? There is no way to tell that they are trans.Ohio transgender bathroom ban bill heads to Gov. Mike DeWine’s desk
Once DeWine receives Senate Bill 104, he will have 10 days to sign the bill into law or veto it

November 14, 2024A bill that would ban transgender students from using school bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity is going to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s desk.
The Ohio Senate voted to concur on Senate Bill 104 in a 24-7 party-line vote Wednesday afternoon. The Ohio House wove House Bill 183 (the bathroom ban bill) into S.B. 104 and passed the bill before going on break at the end of June.
Once DeWine receives S.B. 104, he will have 10 days to sign the bill into law or veto it.
“We have no new comments today,” DeWine’s press secretary Dan Tierney said in an email Wednesday afternoon. “As far as receipt, sometimes that can take a week or more.”
The bill would require students at Ohio K-12 schools and colleges use the bathroom or locker room that aligns with their gender assigned at birth. It would not prevent a school from having single-occupancy facilities. The bill would not apply to someone helping a person with a disability or a child younger than 10 years old being assisted by a parent, guardian or family member.
“It revolves around safety, security and, I think, common sense,” he said. “It protects our children and grandchildren in private spaces where they are most vulnerable. It is us using our legislative authority to ensure schools are, in fact, safe environments. After all, bathrooms, showers, changing rooms should all be safe places for our students.”
Senate Democrats spoke in opposition to weaving the bathroom ban into S.B. 104.
“We could not wait one week, not one single week before we start attacking children once again in this legislative body,” said state sen. Bill DeMora, D-Columbus.
We are the victims… we are the target of the anger that the Republicans have stirred up.2 transgender women attacked at Minneapolis light rail station, advocates say

November 18, 2024The community came together Sunday to support two transgender women who say they were attacked at a light rail station in Minneapolis.
The incident happened Nov. 10 at Hennepin Avenue and Fifth Street in downtown Minneapolis. It's where community members gathered for a rally Sunday afternoon, one week since the attack.
Amber Muhm, a community leader with Trans Movement for Liberation, said the two trans women were attacked by a group of men at the light rail station after one of the men used transphobic slurs.
"No one came to help them. In fact, they said people were cheering the attackers on while they were getting beaten," Muhm said.
She said the attack left one of them with a broken nose. Minneapolis police confirmed they are investigating the incident, but as of Sunday night, no one has been arrested.
Yesterday at the rally for our human rights there were protesters there, they were kept away but once in a while in the silence between speakers you could hear their vitriol chants.
