US Transgender Restrictions: Bills Signed and Challenged.

Republican governors and statehouses across the US are embracing proposals limiting the rights of transgender people, despite criticism from medical groups and advocates who say they are further marginalizing transgender youth and threatening their health. At least 17 states have enacted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming care for minors, and hundreds of bills have been proposed this year restricting the rights of transgender people. Every major medical organization has opposed the bans and supported the medical care for youth when administered appropriately. Some Democratic-led states are enacting measures aimed at protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ youth.
