In a bold move, the California Assembly has voted\u200d to declare\u200b August as\u200c &#8220;Transgender History Month&#8221; starting in 2024. This decision is a response to the wave of legislation in Republican-controlled states that has targeted\u2064 the &#8220;human\u200c and civil rights&#8221; of the\u2063 transgender community.<\/p>\n<p>The Assembly, in a news release, \u2064highlighted the alarming number of anti-LGBTQ bills introduced across the \u2063country, with the majority specifically aimed at transgender individuals. This \u200ddeclaration is a powerful statement against these discriminatory \u2062measures.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not just about\u200d fighting back against\u200d oppressive legislation. The Assembly also wants to dispel the myth\u200c that\u2063 transgender people are a recent phenomenon. They emphasized \u200bthat gender-nonconforming and trans individuals\u2063 have existed throughout history, with documented evidence dating back\u2062 to ancient times. California, \u2064in particular, \u2062has a rich transgender history \u200bthat\u2062 spans centuries.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">California declares August \u201cTransgender History Month\u201d\u200b starting\u2064 in\u2063 2024.<\/p>\n<p>California\u2019s State Assembly has voted \u200cin favor of House Resolution 57, establishing that August will be recognized as Transgender History Month.\u2064 It \u2064is the first state to honor \u201ctrans\u200d history\u201d with the\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zT6mdjidLa\">pic.twitter.com\/zT6mdjidLa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stillgray\/status\/1700238080748486715?\">September 8, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The bill&#8217;s\u200c sponsor, Democratic Assemblymember Matt Haney of San Francisco, passionately stated that transgender people have always existed.
