Very happy to see this - WDI under Kara Danksy's guidance, wrote clear language about gender identity that Missouri then used for their laws protecting minors.

Noteworthy:

"In early 2022, WDI USA’s State Legislative Advocacy (SLA) team, coordinated at that time by Lauren Levey, noticed that a number of states were proposing bills intended to ban medical procedures on minors for the purpose of disguising their sex. But well intentioned as they were, their language and especially their definitions of terms were written in the circular, deceptive transpeak based on sex stereotypes and the writings of those who promote gender identity ideology. The result was that the legislators’ good intentions in opposing gender identity ideology were significantly undermined by eye-rolling nonsense such as “living as a gender that corresponds to their biological sex.”

This confusion by the state legislatures just reinforces Kara Danksy's point that if they could listen to us, we would win.

That’s very good news. We know now painfully well how important it is for legislation to use clear and unambiguous language. Well done, that team.
