March 31 is International Transgender Day of Visibility. Meanwhile, in a blatant show of hatred and disregard for transgender rights and freedoms, lawmakers in Arkansas have passed what the ACLU has described as the “single most extreme anti-trans law to ever pass through a state legislature.”
Jo Yurcaba of NBC News has reported that the Arkansas Senate passed a bill Monday, Mar. 29, that would “ban access to gender-affirming care for transgender minors, including reversible puberty blockers and hormones.”
“The bill now heads to Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Republican,” Yurcaba said. “Unless he vetoes it, Arkansas will become the first state to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth.”
