Anti-LGBTQ+ extremists in South Carolina continue to prioritize destructive, harmful bills targeting LGBTQ+ equality over legislation that would uplift SC families. This time, they're trying to pass a bill that would complicate the process for updating birth certificates and put trans folks at risk.

The proposed legislation (S. 162, H. 3095) aims to block transgender South Carolinians from updating their birth certificates to reflect the gender they live every day. It's on us to let lawmakers know how strongly we oppose this bill before they even try to move forward with it.

These bills would effectively add restrictions to the process of updating a birth certificate in South Carolina, and require the gender listed on a birth certificate to correspond with sex assigned at birth.

Make no mistake: These bills are mean-spirited attempt to put transgender people at risk by denying them documents that reflect their identity, with the ultimate goal of shutting trans folks out of public life in South Carolina.

We can't waste a second in putting the pressure on our lawmakers to reject this harmful attack on our transgender neighbors, family, and friends. Enter your information now to get started.
