In February 2023, Ler introduced a bill that would state that misgendering a transgender student or calling them by their dead name —the name they were given at birth — is not considered a discriminatory practice.
Ler characterized the bill as an effort to ensure students aren't punished by teachers or school officials for references made out of confusion.
Ler, who is also a rancher stated he “taught his children from a very young age that cows are cows and bulls are bulls. Imagine one day my son goes to school and he is told the facts he has learned are no longer true.”[3]
