Yeah, the law is so ambiguously written that it could absolutely apply to any trans public speaker, because the ban includes all public property regardless of who the audience is. Again this is how it starts, by pretending that drag performers and trans people are the same thing, then using bans on the former to push the latter out of public life. Today is fear of reprisal over a speech given on public property, tomorrow it's simply existing in public spaces.

@mlibby @zackstern The library is actually owned by a non-profit but it does receive public funds (the law applies to any library that receives public funds). This is the board covering their own ass at the expense of trans folks. The law in question is so poorly written and so broad in scope that it's impossible to determine if the speaker would be in violation of it.

Montana's drag ban was applied to a transgender person doing public speaking. No music, no dance, just a trans person and a podium. This is what they want. They want us to be removed from public life. This is identical to what Hitler did with the Nuremberg Laws. Eventually the punishment for us simply existing in public spaces will be jail time. If that makes you uncomfortable, please speak up to whomever will listen. Fixing this requires cis support.
