Activist Billboard Chris thinks that until recently, Republicans have feared the political fallout of opposing sex-change procedures on children. Now, he said, they see that fighting radical gender ideology has public support.
“They realize this is a winning issue for them to talk about when they talk about it truthfully and with compassion,” he told The Epoch Times.
Billboard Chris, also known as Chris Elston, has requested nine bills from the Oklahoma legislature to ban radical gender practices for children.
The requested bills promote parental rights and forbid compelled support for gender ideology, according to a Twitter post from Elston. They include the “Save Adolescents From Experimentation” (SAFE) Act, a bill protecting students from being compelled to use “preferred pronouns,” a law that allows parents to choose what name their child will use in school, a guarantee that parents will get authority in medical decisions involving their children, a guarantee of school transparency, a bill to protect parental rights over children, a “do no harm” law, a law allowing parents to sue when their rights are violated, and a law prohibiting the falsification of birth certificates by changing sex.
Elston, a Canadian, said on Twitter that the ways radical gender ideologues cut organs off children’s bodies and replace natural hormones is “pure evil.”
“This shouldn’t be a political issue, but Democrat politicians have made it one. This is your opportunity to do the right thing, and crush them in the process. They deserve it,” he told conservative lawmakers on Twitter.
