The article and what the Arkansas legislature is planning is quite disturbing in it own. On another angle are inter-sex persons who must feel equally threatened by that legislature.
I certainly sense the fear among that state’s Trans community and anyone who happens to travel to or through Arkansas.
What gets little attention is that the real perpetrators are heterosexual males, not Trans persons. It seems their current state law already sufficiently deals with whatever perceived threat one makes.
Their legislature seems to lack the comprehension about Trans and Trans issues.
