Efforts to restrict transgender health care endure in 2024,
with more adults targeted
By A.DeMILLO
Associated Press
Republican-led state leg-
islatures are considering a
new round of bills restricting
medical care for transgen-
der youths — and in some
cases, adults — returning
to the issue the year after
a wave of high-profile bills
became law and sparked
lawsuits. As legislatures be-
gin their work for the year,
lawmakers in several states
have proposed enacting or
strengthening restrictions on
puberty-blocking drugs and
hormone treatments for mi-
nors. Bills to govern the pro-
nouns kids can use at school,
which sports teams students
can play on, and the bath-
rooms they can use are back,
as well, along with efforts to
restrict drag performances
and some books and school
curriculums. Protesters gather inside the State Capitol building on Friday, May 19, 2023, in Lincoln, Neb., before lawmakers were scheduled to
begin debating a bill that will ban abortions at 12 weeks of pregnancy and also ban gender-affirming care for transgender minors.
