MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — The State Assembly today/Thursday takes up several bills related to transgender issues.
One of the measures authored by Oconomowoc Republican Representative Barbara Dittrich would require school districts policies stating that parents determine names and pronouns of students to be used by school staff.
“A major life choice, and transitioning and changing your name is a major life choice, is something parents should be involved in,” Dittrich said.
Other bills include one that would ban gender-affirming care for those under 18, and two that would ban trans athletes at the high school and college level in Wisconsin. Democratic Governor Tony Evers has said he’d veto any bills that harm Wisconsin’s LGBTQ+ youth.
