"Indiana's Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Minors Allowed to Take Effect by Federal Appeals Court"

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has granted a stay, allowing Indiana's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth to take immediate effect, lifting a lower court's injunction. The law, originally scheduled for July 1, 2023, prohibits medical providers from offering gender-affirming health care to transgender youth. The ACLU and ACLU of Indiana have expressed disappointment and vowed to continue challenging the law on behalf of transgender youth, their families, and healthcare providers.

Nebraska Legislature Sparks Controversy with Transgender and Abortion Bills.

Nebraska lawmakers, including Sens. Megan Hunt and Machaela Cavanaugh, are vowing to "burn" down next year's legislative session after an intense day of debating abortion and gender-affirming health care. The Let Them Grow Act, a bill aimed at banning gender-affirming surgeries for minors, was combined with a 12-week abortion ban. Sen. Jen Day called out supporters of the bill for leaving through a special exit to avoid those whose rights were being taken away.

"Montana State Rep. Zooey Zephyr faces political silencing and attacks"

Despite being barred from the floor of the Montana House of Representatives for speaking out against a gender-affirming healthcare ban, Zooey Zephyr, the first transgender lawmaker in state history, hasn't lost hope. Republican lawmakers passed a set of bills banning gender-affirming care, drag performances, and writing the very existence of trans, non-binary, and intersex people out of the state code. In the face of this onslaught of bills, activists and lawmakers alike in Montana leapt into action, including Rep Zephyr. The battle for societal acceptance doesn’t move according to a legislative calendar, and for Representative Zooey Zephyr, the work of making Montana a safe, democratic place for LGBTQ+ people to live and thrive continues apace.
