Description
In this episode, Erin Maye Quade is joined by Christina Sambor and Brittany Stewart.
The discussion centers on Gender Justice’s expanded work into North Dakota and South Dakota, a region often used as testing grounds for right-wing movements.
Gender Justice is challenging discriminatory laws, promoting LGBTQ rights, and reproductive rights, and bolstering legal capacity.
Christina Sambor gives an in-depth overview of North Dakota's current gender justice landscape. Notably, the state's recent legislation targeting transgender rights has sparked significant concern. Bills, such as HB 1254, prohibit gender-affirming care for minors, restricting treatments such as puberty blockers and potentially subjecting medical professionals to legal consequences.
Brittany Stewart underscores this legislative push against trans rights as a façade of child protection, rooted in deep-seated bias against the trans community.
