Summary
An unidentified speaker used the governors' roundtable to mark the start of Transgender Awareness Week, warned of efforts to erase trans people from legal documents and social conversation, and urged members to learn more and support inclusion.
An unidentified participant at the governors' roundtable raised the start of Transgender Awareness Week and urged attendees to support transgender people facing threats to legal recognition and everyday respect.
"One of the ways that trans folks are being under attack right now is their very existence. Just trying to be erased from legal documents, from the conversation, from their pronouns, from the way they want to live their lives and who they are," the speaker said. "Don't let our trans siblings be disappeared."
The comments were offered as a personal and collective appeal for attention and support; no formal motion or board action followed. The speaker invited attendees to speak with them afterward to learn more.
