That's right, in Louisiana they are facing rising health insurance premiums: because of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," property and auto insurance cost are skyrocketing, coastal erosion, pollution, and a public health crisis so what does their legislature focus on... us, the trans community!
House Bill 578 seeks to establish “a uniform statutory definition of sex in Louisiana.”ThemBy Quispe LópezApril 23, 2026Louisiana lawmakers are advancing a bill that would replace all references to “gender” in state law with “sex” — a move that LGBTQ+ advocates say would effectively erase transgender people from written law.House Bill 578, known as the “Restoring Biological Truth Act,” was introduced by sponsor state Rep. Mike Johnson in February 2026, and has since received the support of GOP governor Jeff Landry. The stated goal is to provide “a uniform statutory definition of sex in Louisiana,” defined as “an individual's biological sex, either male or female, as observed or clinically certified at birth.”
Of course they just screwed the intersex community!
While HB 578 is new, the ACLU of Louisiana noted that it largely borrows language from a law with an identical goal that passed through the Louisiana legislature in 2024. HB 608, also known as “Women's Safety and Protection Act,” stated that gender identity “and other subjective terms” should not “be used as synonyms or substitutes for sex.” That law has been in effect since August 2024.
Young professionals and families are frequently moving to neighboring states like Texas or Florida, citing better job markets, higher pay, and more reliable infrastructure. Louisiana ranks dead last in overall health rankings! Premature Death: 48th, Obesity & Diabetes: 47th and in Per Capita Income: Ranked 47th., and in Poverty Rate they are dead last!
And with statics like that what does the legislature focus on... us. The trans community!
