About This Action

In the next few days, Idaho could become the first state in the nation to succeed in its attack on transgender kids who want to play sports.

House Bill 500 (HB 500) trans kids of all ages from participating in school sports - from elementary school to college, recreational sports or school teams. It subjects girls who present as masculine or who are intersex to invasive testing, including examinations of the genitals, far beyond what is required in a standard sports physical.

In addition, House Bill 509 (HB 509) prevents trans people from changing the gender marker on their Idaho birth certificate, opening them up to even greater harassment and violence when traveling, seeking health care, opening a bank account, or enrolling in school.

If passed, these bills will ultimately leave school districts and / or taxpayers on the hook for the costs of litigation. HB 500 specifically will compromise the well-being of all students by funneling resources away from school needs into costly litigation.
