Sign YOUR name to the statement below and we'll deliver your signatures to legislative leaders:

Dear Speaker Ramsey and Speaker Harwell:

We oppose a special legislative session to consider an anti-transgender bathroom discrimination law. It is never justified to spend the state's time and money to advance discrimination. Thank you for considering our views.

Please drop this bathroom bill. People can figure this out for themselves without the state legislature being involved. You make yourselves and the state of Tennessee look silly by making an issue of this.

I wish you guys would address real issues. This is not a concern that most people have but health care coverage, job and poverty are.

1. There have been zero cases reported anywhere of transgender people attacking people in bathrooms. 2. There have been multiple cases where men have gone into women’s bathrooms in order to assault or rape women or children. The only person who has tried to use the law as a defense in a case of such was asked to do so by a lobbying group, and that defense did not work. 3. Cases of women walking into bathrooms, not being deemed feminine enough to be female are being harassed or thrown out of the women’s bathrooms, even though that is their sex from birth.

Summer is coming, and I was thinking about cutting my hair. I am not the most feminine looking woman, even though I have been a woman with all the womanly parts from birth. Am I going to have to worry about being kicked out of a bathroom?

I’ve dealt with bullying for quite some time being different. But I’ve come to realize different isn’t always bad. I grew a backbone as a shield to prevent further anxiety, depression, anguish, dismay, anger, rage, malice, and malcontent. Younger Transgender people need these protections it’s just the basis of freedom and equality examples that The United States of America were founded on.
