trans kids in sports

The lawsuit was brought by two doctors who wanted to discriminate against LGBTQ patients.

The Biden administration says anti-trans discrimination is illegal. Some states say the opposite. What are schools doing?

Trans and women’s rights advocates are calling it “downright dystopian.”

Republican Gov. Spencer Cox sent an impassioned letter pleading with lawmakers not to pass the bill.

“Our kids play sports to be part of a community and have fun with their friends. All kids belong in sports. It’s that simple.”

Gov. Kristi Noem literally wrote the law banning trans kids from sports in her state.

The only Democrat on the committee stood up for trans kids: “Our transgender students deserve better.”

“My daughter’s mental health and wellness is far more important than your child’s medal or record.”

Gov. Kristi Noem was already using her anti-trans beliefs to promote her reelection campaign before her bill even passed.

“Texans will hold lawmakers accountable for their cruelty,” activists say.

Proposals submitted include bans on trans youth from receiving healthcare, talk therapy, or playing sports. Several Democrats have refused to take part and face threats of being arrested.

“I’ll veto this discriminatory bill if it gets to my desk,” Gov. Tom Wolf unequivocally stated. The Republican-majority legislature is unlikely to obtain a veto-proof vote to override him.

Bills across the country targeting the trans community are failing.
