Speaker 1: I've got my chickil A drink here, I have a
Speaker 1: sun Joy. I'm enjoying a branded homophobic, transphobic Arnold Palmer
Speaker 1: down here. We don't call them Arnold Palmer's in the
Speaker 1: land of Chick fil A, in the land of the
Speaker 1: hateful Chicken. We call it a sun joy because that's positive. Hey, everyone,
Speaker 1: Carmen here, Welcome to the first ever Beauty Translated minisode.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to introduce the topics to you today, starting
Speaker 1: out with our first segment, I fucking hate it here
Speaker 1: all about why I fucking hate it here. Okay, So,
Speaker 1: first up, hate to bring us bad news at the
Speaker 1: top of the first Beauty Translated minisode. But I wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about our recent disappointment with President Biden and
Speaker 1: how he promised to protect trans students from sports bands
Speaker 1: in school with a new Title six proposal. But it
Speaker 1: turns out that the proposal may actually ban trans students
Speaker 1: from sports based on the way that it can be interpreted.
Speaker 1: But I wanted to go through and talk about how
Speaker 1: Biden made a proclamation on Trans Day of Visibility that
Speaker 1: he was going to put an end to the sports
Speaker 1: bans and put an end to the nationwide anti trans legislation. Instead,
Speaker 1: he released basically a half baked proposition that is going
Speaker 1: to allow for people to limit trans athletes. So the
Speaker 1: proposal was released April sixth, We've been waiting for it
Speaker 1: since July of twenty twenty two. So in high schools
Speaker 1: and colleges, this would prevent school from keeping trans students
Speaker 1: out of sports teams that match their gender identity if
Speaker 1: the school follows a list of guidelines and so some
Speaker 1: of the highlights of the guidelines would include they would
Speaker 1: have to minimize harm for trans students. Now, this is
Speaker 1: a specific language that people are taking issue with, so
Speaker 1: the school cannot be making blanket assumptions about trans students,
Speaker 1: especially trans girls physical abilities, and schools also have to
Speaker 1: be able to prove that exclusion is part of the
Speaker 1: genuine educational mandate, which they list, one of which would
Speaker 1: be fairness in competition. So, in other words, the way
Speaker 1: that I understand it, the language of the proposal is
Speaker 1: not ironclad enough to protect all trans students, and it's
Speaker 1: vague enough to where schools could use this in any
Speaker 1: way that they decide to exclude trans students. So it
Speaker 1: just feels like he kind of half delivered on that promise,
Speaker 1: because some states will choose to interpret that how however
Speaker 1: they want. Unfortunately, So in the next segment that I
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about was one that super producer Jess
Speaker 1: actually brought to my attention through a lovely little reel
Speaker 1: on Instagram. And this news is from April fourth, and
Speaker 1: this is a recent trend we've been seeing. It's something
Speaker 1: we can celebrate. So let's move on to the next
Speaker 1: segment of let's celebrate that. And what I want to
Speaker 1: celebrate today is New Jersey signing an executive order protecting
Speaker 1: gender affirming healthcare in the state. Woo cheers for the
Speaker 1: State of New Jersey. We love that. Never been to
Speaker 1: the Garden State myself, but we just talked to a
Speaker 1: guest from there, and it sure does sound beautiful right
Speaker 1: about now. So Governor Phil Murphy signed Executive Order Number
Speaker 1: three twenty six establishing New Jersey as a safe Haven
Speaker 1: for gender affirming healthcare by directing all state departments and
Speaker 1: agencies to protect all persons, all patients against potential repercussions
Speaker 1: resulting from providing, receiving, assisting in providing or receiving, seeking,
Speaker 1: or traveling to New Jersey to obtain gender affirming health
Speaker 1: care services. As access to gender affirming healthcare is threatened
Speaker 1: across the country, today's executive order reflects the Murphy's administration's
Speaker 1: commitment to fostering a safe affirming healthcare environment in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: And that is from the Governor of New Jersey's website.
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's celebrate that. Let's celebrate New Jersey. So
Speaker 1: to kind of conclude all of that, even with all
Speaker 1: of the recent anti trans legislation going on across the country,
Speaker 1: there are multiple states in the country right now that
Speaker 1: are looking at making their states safe havens for trans
Speaker 1: people to receive gender affirming care, and I hope that
Speaker 1: we can see a future where that becomes something protected
Speaker 1: in all fifty one states. Stay tuned for this week's episode,
Speaker 1: coming out on Wednesday. With Callie Williams, the CEO of Pagestrum,
Speaker 1: Barbie the me McQueen herself. We talk about identity politics
Speaker 1: and cancel culture. So tune in for another fun, full
Speaker 1: length episode of Beauty Translated. Stay Beautiful, Young,
