admin, , , ,

In another significant blow to LGBTQ+ rights, Arizona passed two anti-trans bills that negatively impact medical care for trans youth.  On 24 March, the state’s Republican-led House passed Senate Bill 1138 by a vote of 31-26.  Under the proposed legislation, gender-affirming care for trans youth would be heavily restricted.

admin, , , ,

Utah Governor Spencer Cox cited suicide rates among transgender youth as one of his reasons for vetoing a Republican-backed sports ban bill. House Bill 11 would have seen trans girls banned from participating in school sports teams that align with their gender identity, something he called a flawed measure with an array of legal and financial risks. “Four kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That’s what all of this is about. Four kids who aren’t dominating or winning trophies or taking scholarships. Four kids who are just…

admin, , , ,

Following a debate in the House of Lords, a “cruel” amendment attempting to change how trans people are imprisoned was withdrawn.
