Subject: Sign the petition! House Democratic Caucus Leadership: Not In Our Name: Cisgender Women Against Trans Bathroom Bans

Body:

Friend,

I signed a petition on Action Network telling House Democratic Caucus Leadership to Not In Our Name: Cisgender Women Against Trans Bathroom Bans.

House Representative Nancy Mace and the Congressional GOP have launched a campaign of harassment not just against newly-elected trans Democrat Rep Sarah McBride of Delaware, but against all trans and nonbinary people, through a newly proposed piece of legislation called the "Protecting Women's Private Spaces" Act, which would restrict bathroom usage in all federal buildings by biological sex, forcing trans people to use bathrooms designated for a gender with which they don't identify, and which they may not present as, which dramatically increases their risk of harassment and violence. We have also seen, over the years, as these bills increase nationwide, that they don't make cis women safer either; many of us have personally experienced increased harassment in bathrooms because of how we look, or we know someone who has. Proponents of these bans continually insist that they are vital for the protection of cisgender women and girls. This makes it incredibly important for cisgender women and girls to loudly stand up and refuse to be used as a shield for this bigotry. Please share this petition with the cis women in your life to add their names (and their stories, if they wish to share them). Cis men, you can help by forwarding this and spreading the word; but the more signatures we can share from the population specifically being named in the title of this legislation, the more impact it will have. Thank you all!
