Hairdressers Could Be Sued Under This Anti-Transgender Bill

A proposed bill in Arkansas criminalizes support for transgender youth's social transition, including haircuts, allowing lawsuits for at least $10,000.
The bill allows lawsuits for up to $10 million if a transgender individual regrets past medical transition-related procedures, and applies to residents of other states as well.
The ACLU of Arkansas condemned the bill as government overreach that threatens constitutional rights, including free speech, and creates confusion about protected actions, as reported by Mira Lazine.
Evelyn Rios Stafford testified against the bill, explaining it could lead to prosecution for simple supportive actions, causing fear among community members.
