Analysis: How #AntiTransLaws jeopardize #IndigenousPeoples’ rights, religious expression

by Rosalyn St Pierre, Jun 15, 2023

"In April [2023], Montana’s Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte became one of the latest to sign several new anti-transgender laws, including one that will prevent gender-affirming medical care for minors.

"One thing these new laws do not take into account is that the 12 federally recognized tribes in Montana have historically recognized multiple gender identities, including transgender identities. Most Indigenous peoples recognize multiple gender identities that are believed to be the result of supernatural intervention.

"In this regard, Montana state Rep. Donavon Hawk, a Democrat from Butte who is Crow and Lakota, said, 'It surprises me that this country is only a couple hundred years old, and we are not able to function with #LGBTQ people in our communities.' Indigenous communities have incorporated LGBTQ+ peoples within their societies for centuries.

"As an Indigenous scholar who studies the history and religion of Indigenous peoples, I am troubled by how these new anti-transgender laws might affect religious expression and the rights of Indigenous communities, not just in Montana but across the nation."
