"Those who continue to promote such transitions and gender confusion or are themselves confused should not have teaching certificates giving them the privilege of having care, custody and control of Kentucky's most valuable asset, our children."
"Doctors will need to utilise outdated terms like 'transexualism' and 'gender identity disorder' instead of gender dysphoria and reclassify being trans as a mental illness for the first time since 2013."
Kentucky is advancing a bill that would label transgender individuals as mentally ill and prohibit trans teachers from obtaining certification. Proposed by Senator Gex Williams, the amendment to House Bill 759 does not explicitly mention transgender individuals but targets those diagnosed with disorders excluded from the Americans with Disabilities Act. This includes outdated terms like 'transexualism' and 'gender identity disorder.' The bill is set for a fast-tracked vote, bypassing debate unless opposed by other senators.
