Quick Glance: Clash Over Transgender Youth Rights Escalates in Kansas
- The Democratic governor of Kansas rejected a bill that would have banned gender-affirming care for minors, leading to a standoff with the state's Republican supermajority.
- The Republican-led legislature is expected to push for an override of the veto. The legislation halted by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly would prohibit hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and gender reassignment surgery for individuals under 18.
- Last year, Kelly vetoed four bills imposing restrictions on transgender individuals, including measures preventing transgender girls and women from participating in female K-12 and college sports teams, and ending legal recognition of transgender identities in the state.
- In recent years, an unprecedented number of bills targeting transgender individuals have been introduced in state legislatures. Lawmakers introduced nearly 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills during the 2024 legislative session, as reported by the American Civil Liberties Union. By May 2023, legislators had introduced over 400 such bills, a significant increase from about 150 in 2022.

Quick Glance: Idaho Can Enforce Ban on Gender-Affirming Care
- The Supreme Court is allowing Idaho to enforce its ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth while ongoing legal battles persist, overturning previous court decisions.
- A court decision enables the state of Idaho to implement a 2023 law that imposes significant penalties on physicians for providing gender-affirming care to individuals under 18 years old.
- The court's three liberal judges would have chosen to suspend the law.
- This action comes as the justices may soon deliberate on whether to address bans in Kentucky and Tennessee enforced amid legal disputes.
