State lawmakers have gone after transgender rights in twice as many bills so far this year as in all of 2015, a new Human Rights Campaign study finds, as reported by The Guardian. Half of those bills are aimed at children.

HRC found 44 anti-transgender bills, in 16 states, out of more than 175 bills aiming to block rights for LGBTQ people in general. Twenty-three of those bills singled out transgender kids, with most of them trying to keep them out of school bathrooms, locker rooms or sports teams if the kids’ choices don’t align with the gender they were assigned at birth.

May I suggest folks consider supporting

1. This is GOP's way of Getting Out The Hate Vote.

They need that vote to turn up big in election years.
