Quick Glance: Tennessee Lawmakers Pass Bill Criminalizing Adults Aiding Minors in Gender-Affirming Care
  • Tennessee's GOP-controlled Statehouse approved a bill criminalizing adults who help minors receive gender-affirming care without parental consent.

  • Critics caution about the broad application of the law, ranging from discussing care options with adolescents to aiding in travel to states with looser gender-affirming care restrictions.

  • Tennessee has enacted more anti-LGBTQ+ laws than any other state since 2015, as identified by the Human Rights Campaign, calling it a staggering assault on their constituents.

Quick Glance: Kansas Governor Kelly Blocks Gender Confirmation for Minors
  • Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat, vetoed a bill on gender confirmation for minors, leading to conflict with Republican state lawmakers.

  • The package of measures now goes back to the state Legislature, where the GOP majority is likely to have enough votes to override the governor's veto. Lawmakers are expected to return for a veto session on April 29.

  • The proposed measure would ban gender-affirming care for trans and non-binary youth in Kansas, including puberty blockers and surgeries, although surgical procedures on children are rarely performed.

  • The law would also allow lawsuits against doctors who would lose their licenses if they provide gender-affirming treatments to minors, and state funds like Medicaid would not be used for such treatments.

Kansas governor vetoes a ban on gender-affirming care; GOP vows override
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.
