In Alabama, HB1/SB10 is an anti-trans medical bill that would make it illegal for doctors to provide gender-affirming care to trans kids—with potential prison sentences up to 10 years. It would be devastating. https://act.hrc.org/page/75759/action/1?ea.tracking.id=sm_gnr_AL_0208
In Arkansas, SB289 is an anti-trans healthcare bill that has passed the Senate. It would allow health care workers to refuse to help LGBTQ people. Health care should be available to all who need it, not withheld by providers because of hate and fear.
In Mississippi, SB2536 would ban trans women and girls from participating in sports. It passed the Senate last week.
Another bill in Mississippi, HB 1030, would allow college athletes to get paid for appearances in ads—but was amended to explicitly exclude trans women.
In Arizona, HB2725 is an anti-trans bill that would ban non-binary gender markers on state documents.

Arizona’s SB1482 would prevent the state from banning “conversion therapy”—protecting the perpetrators of this harmful practice instead of the LGBTQ kids who survive it.
In Utah, HB302 is an anti-trans sports bill. It passed through committee last week. Utah kids deserve better.
In North Dakota, HB1298 is an anti-trans sports bill aimed squarely at kids who want to play on teams with their friends. It passed the House last week.
In South Dakota, we’re tracking three bad bills.

In Kentucky, SB83 would allow health care workers to deny services to LGBTQ people.
Instead of targeting trans people to score political points, state legislators should start focusing on issues that actually need solving: providing relief for communities devastated by the pandemic.
