Hundreds gathered in North Carolina to protest against the wave of bills sweeping the US which target young trans people.
According to ABC News, demonstrators and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups took to the streets of Asheville while chanting ‘trans lives matter.’ Julia Holladay, a representative of Youth OUTright WNC who attended the protest, said: “It’s time to be more active than ever, and as a parent of a trans child, I’m scared for them.”In North Carolina alone, two anti-trans bills are currently being debated, which aim to limit young trans people’s access to gender-affirming healthcare and school sports.
