Republican Attacks on Trans Rights Condemned by Thousands of Christians as Fascist.

Over 10,000 Christians signed a petition condemning the banning of Montana's first transgender lawmaker, Representative Zooey Zephyr, from the House floor after she spoke against a bill banning gender-affirming care for minors. The petition was launched by Faithful America, an online community of Christians advocating for social justice. The group accused the GOP of using fascist tactics to silence marginalized communities and undermine democracy. Zephyr was barred from the House floor for breaching decorum, but she launched her reelection bid for 2025.

"Montana Governor Urged by Nonbinary Son and Trans Lawmaker to Reject Anti-Trans Bills"

Montana Governor Greg Gianforte's nonbinary son, David Gianforte, has urged his father not to sign anti-transgender bills that would ban gender-affirming care for minors in the state. David, who identifies as gay and nonbinary, met with his father to discuss the measures, which he called "immoral, unjust, and frankly a violation of human rights." The governor's office declined to comment on the private conversation. The anti-trans bills in Montana have made national headlines, and state Rep. Zooey Zephyr, one of the state's first openly transgender lawmakers, was censured this week for criticizing Republicans who voted for the health care ban.

Anti-trans bills gain momentum, targeting both minors and adults.

Legislators in several US states have introduced bills that would restrict gender-affirming care for trans people over the age of 18, including hormone treatments and surgery. Some proponents of the bills argue that gender-affirming care is "bad medicine" and "consumer fraud," while advocates say the measures are part of a long-term plan to eliminate access to care for trans people of all ages. Bills that ban health care for trans youth also often prohibit public funds from being used for gender-affirming care, which legal experts say could function as a de facto ban for adults as well.
