Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) Tweeted:
BREAKING: #HB1057 in South Dakota, which would have done incomprehensible harm to trans kids, was moved to the 41st day of the session --- essentially killing the bill.
Congratulations to all of the advocates who worked around the clock to defeat this dangerous bill. #SDLeg

Dylan says Trans Rights (@DylanMercury) Tweeted:
FWIW, South Dakota is often used as a test site for extremist anti-LGBTQ and anti-woman legislation b/c of the state's lack of progressive infrastructure. It is HUGE that the ACLU of SD was able to mobilize this many people to kill #HB1057 AND IT IS HUGE that they succeeded.

Pretty soon, all the lies that were told about "all (persons) are created equal" and "America is the land of opportunity" will become truths.

Alas, so many of the twitter replies are the usual shit show.
Children and their parents who choose medical intervention are not "confused," and no, this is not the same as a teenager sneaking out to get a tattoo.
