Where Orgs Stand

Louisiana Trans AdvocatesOPPOSE

This bill would define 'sex' in Louisiana law as sex assigned at birth and require that definition to be used across government data systems and certain forms. Trans people already know that many of these systems and forms fail to accurately represent who we are. This bill sends a message to trans people that they are less worthy of respect and consideration.

This approach is largely redundant of legislation passed in 2024, which already defined sex in state law based on a person's sex at birth.
