Nebraska Senator's Personal Standoff Over Trans Rights Bill.

A Democratic lawmaker in Nebraska has threatened to halt the state legislature's 90-day session in protest over a bill banning gender-affirming therapies for kids, which she calls a transgender "genocide." The senator has been filibustering for nearly three weeks, blocking debate on everything, even items she supports. She finally agreed to debate a modified version of the bill after it dropped the restriction on hormone treatments, instead banning only gender reassignment surgery for minors. Bans on gender-affirming care for minors have already been enacted this year in South Dakota, Utah, and Mississippi.

Nebraska Senator Cavanaugh pauses filibuster on trans bill.

A Nebraska lawmaker who had been filibustering every bill before the legislative body for weeks to protest a bill that would ban gender-affirming therapies for minors has paused her filibuster in a deal that will see lawmakers debate the bill next week. The bill would outlaw gender-affirming therapies such as hormone treatments and gender-affirmation surgery for those 18 and younger. If the bill advances, the lawmaker will resume filibustering every bill for the remainder of the session. The Nebraska bill and another that would ban trans people from using bathrooms and locker rooms or playing on sports teams that don’t align with the gender listed on their birth certificates are among roughly 150 bills targeting transgender people that have been introduced in state legislatures this year.

"Nebraska Legislature in Turmoil Over Anti-Trans Bill Filibuster"

State Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh compared a bill that would ban gender-affirming therapies for those under age 19 to the genocide of trans youth, leading to a dispute with Sen. Julie Slama who moved to censure Cavanaugh. Speaker John Arch said Slama's motion would not be taken up, and debate continued. Nebraska lawmakers have advanced only 26 bills to the second round of debate, prompting Arch to plan for day and night work later this month to get more bills considered.
