As of November 15, 2024, there have been 45 anti-trans bills passed this year.
These bills can be grouped into several main categories:
Bans on gender-affirming care for minors:
These laws prohibit healthcare professionals from providing treatments such as puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries to transgender youth.
Restrictions on transgender students' participation in sports: These laws require students to participate in sports based on their assigned sex at birth, rather than their gender identity.
Bans on drag performances: These laws restrict drag performances in public spaces or in the presence of minors.
"Bathroom bills": These laws require individuals to use restrooms corresponding to their assigned sex at birth.
Restrictions on teaching about gender identity and sexual orientation: These laws limit what can be taught in schools about LGBTQ+ topics.
It's important to note that these laws are constantly changing, and new bills are being introduced and passed regularly.
