Republicans Advance Legislation Targeting Transgender Rights As Democrats and Medical Groups Push Back
- The Republican-led House of Representatives passed a bill banning transgender girls from participating in girls' and women's sports.
- Republican state legislatures have passed laws restricting transgender health care and banning trans athletes from sports teams matching their gender identity.
- Democrats and LGBTQ advocates argue these laws discriminate against a vulnerable group and defy medical recommendations.
- The Biden administration opposes these measures and has threatened to veto them, but Republicans appear poised to override vetoes in some states.
- A coalition of medical groups says gender-affirming care for trans youth is medically necessary and potentially life-saving.
