Trans advocates speak out on the fight against SB 458 in Montana, which would strip legal recognition from trans and non-binary people, and those with intersex conditions.
House District in Montana’s state house, told The Daily Beast that SB 458 represented “discrimination from cradle to grave.” She testified in the Senate against the bill, and awaits its passage in the House.
Sarah Warbelow, legal director of the HRC, told The Daily Beast that the bill stood in stark contravention of the Bostock ruling, but also was motivated by “a desire on the part of some lawmakers to make it impossible for transgender people to function in the world. There are a handful of legislators who seem hellbent on erasing the LGBTQ community. Montana wants to force trans people to go back into the closet, and make it hard to live their daily lives.
“If you go to the hearings into the bills, you listen to trans people pleading and begging to be left alone,” said Deernose. “Not only are we scared of the animus being spread, we need to feel safe where we live. These bills don’t provide that. Transgender people are scared. They want to leave, or are stuck here and don’t know how they are going to survive. We’ve heard of people’s mental health greatly declining, and people saying, ‘I’m suicidal.’ It’s heartbreaking.
“You can’t just suddenly come to me with kindness and not expect me to feel attacked. They’re causing harm and pain to me and my community, and to turn around and say ‘Good job, I support and care for you’ is cold comfort. Their words are meaningless if they are going to vote to hurt my community.”
