The campaign for Gov. Kay Ivey recently released a new campaign ad. The 30-second ad shows Ivey touting her efforts to ban transgender care for minors, arguing that gender is a matter of biology, not identity. 

Ivey states in the ad, “Some things are just facts: Summer is hot, the ocean is big, and gender is a question of biology, not identity.”

A voice-over adds, “That’s why Ivey banned transgender youth sports, banned left-wing sexual propaganda from our schools, and made it a felony for transgender surgery on children in Alabama.”

Ivey concludes, “Here in Alabama, we’re going to go by how God made us because we identify with something liberals never will – reality.”

Ivey recently signed the Alabama Vulnerable Child Protection Act. The new law makes it a crime for doctors to treat trans youth under 19 with puberty blockers or hormones to help affirm their gender identity.

Additionally, she signed House Bill 322, which requires students to use the restroom that agrees with their birth gender. It also bans instruction of sexual orientation and gender identity to K-5 public school students.
