Abe-Texas House of Representatives baphasise umthetho ovimbela bonke abesifazane namantombazane aguqule ubulili ukuthi bangabambi iqhaza kunoma iyiphi imidlalo ezikoleni zabesifazane.
Lo mthetho waphasiswa ezweni laseMelika ngemuva kwemizamo emithathu ehlulekile, yize izishayamthetho zakhonjiswa ubufakazi obukhombisa ukuthi abesifazane abaguqule ubulili abanalo ithuba emidlalweni yabesifazane.
Abalondolozi bemvelo esifundazweni bathi umthetho kumele wethulwe ukuze kube nomncintiswano onobulungiswa. Kodwa-ke, izishoshovu zamalungelo alinganayo zithi abukho ubufakazi obufakazela ukuthi abadlali abangama-transgender banomthelela omubi imincintiswaneni yezemidlalo.
URicardo Martinez, isikhulu esiphezulu seqembu lamalungelo e-LGBTQ + i-Equality Texas, ubize lo mthethosisekelo “njengokuhlaselwa okunenzondo, okuhloswe kubantu abangama-transgender”.
Umphathi we-Taxis Politics Project eNyuvesi yase-Texas, uJames Henson, uthe lesi yisibonelo somthetho odumile osuphasisiwe ngenxa yokukhulisa isibalo sabavoti be-Republic esifundazweni.
“Njengezinye izinto eziningi kwezepolitiki zase-Texas njengamanje, lokhu abakwenzayo ukuheha amavoti abantu abahambisana nemibono ikakhulukazi yeqembu le-Republican. Laba yibona abangabavoti abakhombisa ukhetho lwe-Republican,” kusho uHenson.
I-Alabama, i-Arkansas, i-Florida, i-Mississippi , i-Montana , i-Tennessee, i-West Virginia kanye ne-South Dakota ezinye izifunda eMelika eziphasise imithetho efanayo ephikisana nokubamba iqhaza kwabesifazane abangama-transgender emidlalweni yabesifazane.
Isifundazwe sase-Idaho sazama ukushaya umthetho ofanayo ngonyaka wezi-2020, kodwa savinjelwa yinkantolo yombuso, ngesinqumo senkantolo sokuthi abesifazane abangama-transgender kumele bavunyelwe ukuthola indawo yabo emaqenjini abesifazane.
