There are now 151 people signed up to speak at a public hearing for HF583 which would make Iowa the first state to strip "gender identity" from state civil rights law.
By my count the number opposed to the bill is over 5x those signed up to speak in favor of it:
126 CON - 25 PRO

Of 62 total sign-ups, there are 18 people signed up to speak in favor of a bill to remove gender identity from Iowa civil rights code and 44 against it.
But the way the hearing process works, legislators will alternate pro/con to hear equally from both sides, fundamentally misrepresenting support.

The pro-bill #HF583 speakers and protestors are probably outnumbered 50 to 1 by #lgbt people in the #iowa state capitol right now. If this issue is so important to all the supporters of the bill, then where are they? We're here defending our rights. #TransRights #hsb242

i'm also curious who was in the room.
i know jeff shipley is an iowa representative that could fairly said to be creepily obsessed with children's genitals. he was also taking it *very* personally on twitter yesterday, as if the comments pertained to him in some way.

Call your Iowa State House and Senate reps and tell them to vote NO on HF583 & SF418.
These bills will strip Transgender Iowan’s of their civil rights allowing anyone to freely discriminate against anyone who is transgender.

Iowa was the 1st state to recognize that “separate but equal” is wrong. Now they’re trying to implement a bill that uses “separate but equal” to justify removing trans & gnc people from the Iowa Civil Rights Act, for which we’d again be 1st in the nation. Don’t elect Nazis, folks. #hf583
