Provisions removed TL;DR:
a new requirement for family-court judges to consider one parent’s misgendering or deadnaming of their child in custody proceedings. They also stripped language related to publishing materials that deadname or misgender someone.
Although those parts are removed, some anti-discrimination rules against dead naming are still included.
This bill obviously worse in its current form, it is still positive for Coloradans, though not quite as much as it could be.
Should it pass into law, the bill would still protect transgender people from being misgendered or deadnamed, or referred to by the name they used before they transitioned, in discrimination laws for places like work and school. It would also enact shield-law protections for Coloradans against other states’ anti-transgender policies, and it would make changes to policies for name alterations on marriage certificates and gender markers on driver’s licenses.
Absolutely, perfect should not be the enemy of good here.
