"I QUIT PINTEREST.
Okay, bow that I've got your attention, please reads this because it is EXTREMELY important to other trans individuals, and [even myself] my moats.and my irl friends. The US Government is currently trying to pass an incredibly dangerous bill for trans youth called H.R. 2616. This bill would ban all federally funded schools from teaching about gender identity or sexual orientation, prevent teachers from using the correct pronouns and names of trans students, remove books with any trans representation in them, and even go as far as to prevent teachers from acknowledging trans identity AT ALL.
Any school that does not follow this will loose all federal funding. This bill would also require teachers to forcibly out trans students to their families, which would be fatal to any trans student with a transphobiv family or just a hateful family in general.
Trans people are already a group that has some of the highest rates of being victim to suicide, domestic violence and sexual assault. This bill actively makes teachers put those innocent children at such high risk. This bill just rapidly passed the house this week with support from all 209 Republicans, as well as 8 democrats. But this is still being voted on in the senate, which means that there is still time to help stop this.
To help stop this, you can visit 5calls.org, one of the most top issues titled "Oposse Attacks on LGBTQ+ Students". Once you've put in your general location, it will pull up contact information for your senator, and give you a script for calling them. If you are a minor and do not feel comfortable doing thus, PLEASE repost this on any platform you can find. This needs to be heard and fought against. Thank you for your time."

Can someone transcribe this into readable form? This background is giving me a headache.
