Arkansas could make it 'illegal to be transgender' this week

Asa Hutchinson was elected Governor of Arkansas in 2015

Trans people in Arkansas could soon lead an essentially illegal life.

State lawmakers are currently discussing three bills: House Bill 1986, House Bill 1894, and Senate Bill 774.

If all three pass, it could force trans people out of a majority of public life because their existence would effectively be illegal.

SB774 is Arkansa's version of North Carolina's controversial HB2 'bathroom bill'.
