A Nebraska state senator is causing waves in the state legislature after a scathing speech where she told her Republican colleagues that she is done being polite with them since they’re attacking her family. Namely, her 12-year-old son, who is transgender. Sen. Megan Hunt (D) said, “My son is trans. And this bill, colleagues, is such an affront to me personally and would violate my rights to parent my child in Nebraska.”
She was referring to L.B. 574, which would ban doctors from providing gender-affirming care to transgender people under the age of 19. The measure includes puberty blockers, meaning that trans youth would have to go through puberty associated with the wrong gender and live with its permanent effects if this bill passes.
The bill is called the “Let Them Grow Act” and bans certain procedures for transgender youth but explicitly allows them if they’re performed on intersex youth to appear more like the sex a doctor assigns to them at birth.
Nebraska state Sen. Michaela Cavanaugh (D) has been filibustering all bills in Nebraska’s unicameral legislature for weeks now, and Hunt has joined her. The legislature meets for 90 days a year, meaning that if they filibuster until June 9 then they have killed all legislation for the year.
