Arizona is at it again. Just one month after the Phoenix City Council voted to amend an anti-discrimination law to include lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals, Arizona lawmakers have just passed a bill that overrides some of those protections. Arizona Senate Bill SB 1045, authored by Rep. John Kavanagh (R-AZ), originally sought to make it a Class 1 Misdemeanor for transgender individuals to use a bathroom other than one that aligns with the gender on their birth certificate. At first you might not recognize the inherent discrimination in this bill, so allow me to elaborate.
Gender identity is an important aspect of a person’s self-concept and self-esteem, especially in childhood, and has a considerable impact on development, social opportunities, occupational goals, and several other aspects of personal growth. People who are transgender identify with a gender that is different from their biological one. In other words, someone who was born as a biological male would identify themselves as female and vice versa. This disparity usually begins early in life (typically, before the age of five) and carries on into adulthood. People who are transgender live and dress in a way that matches the gender they feel they truly are, not the gender that matches their physical body.
those whose espouse these kinds of overly bigoted idiotlogies need to take a stroll through their minds sometime, those who vote for persons who support this exclusionary agenda can they in reallity and by description call themselves Christian or American? IMO if all these haters were exiled to their own place like Arizona or Texas or No. Dakota with no one else to hate how long before the pettiness turns on themselves, that i would only wish on those who oppose.
