Dear [title] [last name],

Please, vote NO on HB1233 on March 17 in the Education Administration Committee.

The Legislature has not taken action to protect and support transgender students, faculty, and staff at our schools. In fact, harmful legislation has advanced this year. This bill improperly dignifies the idea that it is acceptable not to share space with transgender people, which further stigmatizes them. That is not a lesson that our schools should be teaching.

This bill is just another form of a bathroom bill. As well as the human toll of this legislation, please consider the loss of conventions, tourism, and business to our state if the Legislature adopts bills like this.

Thank you for considering my views.
