Keyword matches: ["lgbtq_primary"]
Summary
This bill aimed to eliminate all legal recognition of "gender identity" from New Hampshire statutes. If passed, it would have stripped transgender individuals of existing protections and legal affirmation across state laws, including in areas like non-discrimination, official documentation, and potentially healthcare, thereby undermining their civil rights and well-being. While this specific bill was defeated, its introduction signals an intent to undermine transgender rights and recognition within the state.
