As Robin Wall Kimmerer states: WE ARE SOVEREIGN TERRITORY. Any action, by any government, that seeks to keep us from defining who we are is a violation of fundamental human rights.
The name we give ourself, the clothes that we wear, the gender and sexuality that we identify as are all things that no government should have a say over.
It seems self-evident, but I am still going to say it. Boycott states, countries, and corporations that don't recognize fundamental human rights. The leverage that we have is our voice, our vote, and our money. Of these, our money is most immediate - use it to help shape the world you want to live in.
Read the whole article here. But below I also included two parts that are particularly disgusting.
Should any transgender person be caught driving without a valid license, they could face a class B misdemeanor carrying up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
In addition to the driver's license provisions, the law bans transgender people from using bathrooms matching their gender identity in public buildings and creates a bathroom bounty hunter system allowing citizens to sue transgender people they encounter in restrooms for at least $1,000 in damages, including potentially in private restrooms.
