What transpired in anti-transgender legislation from May 27 to May 31?

Anti-transgender legislation

In the United States, a number of anti-transgender bills have been proposed and passed in recent years. These bills vary in their specific provisions, but they all generally seek to restrict the rights of transgender people, including their ability to access healthcare, use public restrooms, and participate in sports.

In the week of May 27 to May 31, 2023, several states considered or passed anti-transgender legislation. The most significant of these was a bill passed in Alabama that would prohibit transgender people from using public restrooms that correspond with their gender identity. The bill was signed into law by Governor Kay Ivey on May 27.

Other states that considered anti-transgender legislation during this week included:

  • Arkansas: A bill that would prohibit transgender people from changing their birth certificates to reflect their gender identity was passed by the state Senate but vetoed by Governor Asa Hutchinson.
  • Florida: A bill that would prohibit transgender girls from participating in girls' sports was passed by the state House of Representatives but has not yet been voted on by the state Senate.
  • Missouri: A bill that would prohibit transgender people from using public restrooms that correspond with their gender identity was passed by the state House of Representatives but has not yet been voted on by the state Senate.
  • Tennessee: A bill that would prohibit transgender people from changing their birth certificates to reflect their gender identity was passed by the state House of Representatives but has not yet been voted on by the state Senate.

The passage of these anti-transgender bills has been met with widespread condemnation from LGBTQ+ rights groups and allies. These groups argue that these bills are discriminatory and harmful, and that they will only serve to further marginalize transgender people.
