In a massive win for LGBTQ+ rights, California introduced a new law offering legal refuge for trans youth fleeing conservative states. Over the last couple of years, Republican officials have consistently attacked trans youth with harmful legislation. From the numerous sports bans to the archaic bills banning lifesaving healthcare, conservative lawmakers have dedicated their time and resources to strip the rights of trans individuals. In response to the growing number of anti-trans legislation, Governor Newsom has introduced a new law that effectively makes the liberal state a safe haven for…

admin, , , ,

A Texas judge has expanded a statewide injunction blocking harmful “child abuse” investigations into parents of trans youth. Back in February, Attorney General Ken Paxton released an official opinion denouncing gender-affirming care. He also said that the life-saving treatments should be considered “child abuse”. Shortly after his harmful statement, Governor Greg Abbott released his own transphobic letter – which ordered the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to start investigations into parents of trans youth. “Because the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) is responsible for…

In a major blow to LGBTQ+ rights, Montana has banned trans citizens from changing their birth certificates.  Over the last year-and-a-half, the state’s Republican Governor Greg Gianforte has targeted the trans community with an array of harmful bills.  In May 2021, he signed the ‘Save Women’s Sports Act’ into law – which bans transgender girls and women from participating in sports.  That same year, Gianforte introduced Senate Bill 280, which set up new hurdles for trans individuals looking to change their birth certificates.  Under the legislation, citizens are required to present…

US court rules gender dysphoria is a protected disability

admin, , , ,

The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has become the country’s first appellate court to rule that gender dysphoria is a protected disability. In an opinion issued on 16 August, the court wrote: “Being transgender is not a disability and affirms that a transgender’s person medical needs are just as deserving of treatment and protection as anyone else’s.” The three-judge panel determined that there was “no legitimate reason why Congress would intend to exclude” those experiencing gender dysphoria from the protections offered by the Americans with Disabilities Act…

In a massive blow to trans rights, Florida’s Board of Medicine has voted to consider banning gender-affirming care for trans youth.  Over the last couple of years, the state of Florida has been home to some of the United States’ most harmful anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.  In 2021, Governor Ron DeSantis banned transgender girls and women from competing in school sports. His crusade against the LGBTQ+ community continued earlier this year when he signed the archaic ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill into law. Now the state’s Board of Medicine has targeted trans youth and…

Judge issues partial block on Alabama’s horrific anti-trans healthcare bill

admin, , , ,

An Alabama judge has partially blocked the state’s harmful anti-LGBTQ+ law that criminalises gender-affirming care for trans youth.  Back in April, Governor Kay Ivey signed the horrific Senate Bill 184 (SB 184) into law. Under SB 184, also known as The Vulnerable Child Protection Act, medical professionals will face felony charges for offering gender-affirming care to trans youth under the age of 18 years old. If an individual is found guilty of providing puberty blockers, hormone therapy or gender-affirming surgeries, the penalty could be $15,000 with up to 10 years in…
