US EditionCommunity rallies for International Trans Day of Visibility
- A rally was held at the Montana State Capitol on Monday afternoon, marking Trans Day of Visibility with advocates protesting legislation affecting transgender individuals.
- The rally and a Sunday gathering in Billings occurred after Governor Greg Gianforte signed House Bill 121, restricting transgender individuals from using restrooms aligning with their gender identity, and House Bill 300, barring transgender women from women's sports, into law on Friday.
- HB 121 mandates that public schools, correctional facilities, and other public buildings designate bathrooms and sleeping areas based on biological sex at birth, while HB 300 defines allowing transgender female athletes in women's sports as unlawful discrimination.
- Gianforte stated the bills protect women and girls' privacy and security, while the ACLU of Montana filed a lawsuit to block HB 121, claiming it discriminates against transgender and intersex Montanans and violates their rights to privacy and equal protection; statistics from 2021 indicate that nearly 94% of sex offenses were committed by men.
- Advocates like Julia Maxon and Atlas Gilbert emphasized the importance of showing that transgender Montanans deserve safety, dignity, and respect, arguing that the legislation overlooks the effects of hormone therapy and that potential solutions like multi-gendered teams or open divisions in sports should be considered, while Sue Vinton, sponsor of HB 300, cited concerns about Title IX and biological differences in athletic performance, referencing a study suggesting males typically outperform females by 10%-30%.
