Trans Rights Watch
TGGuide.com has created this Trans Rights Watch page monitor the increasing federal and state level attacks on the transgender community. This is directly as a result of the Trump administration’s assault on the transgender community and activities within the United States. Many of these issues have worldwide implications. We consider it important to pay attention to these legislative activities, policy changes, and other activities aimed at restricting the rights of trans people. We will monitor these attacks on the transgender community and provide actionable steps we can all take to fight for fair and reasonable trans rights.

Recent Attacks on Trans Rights
Throughout the United States, many laws and policies have been put forward or passed that seek to take away protections and rights from transgender people. Here are some of the most significant recent attacks on trans rights at the federal and state levels:
FEDERAL TRANS RIGHTS WATCH
- Healthcare Access Restrictions – Movements to prohibit or limit gender-affirming care through federal health insurance.
- The rollback of Anti-Discrimination Protections – The narrowing of protections for transgender people in the workplace, in housing, and at school.
- Targeting Trans Athletes – Federal proposals that would prohibit transgender individuals from competing in sports matching their gender identity.
- Transgender Passports – Executive order that restricts gender on a passport to the biological sex at birth, regardless of gender identity and even despite court orders for change.
STATE TRANS RIGHTS WATCH
- Healthcare Bans – Several states have approved or have attempted to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth and have made doctors and parents who give or support such care break the law.
- Bathroom & Public Facility Restrictions – Laws that force trans people to use restrooms based on their sex, not their gender, in public places.
- Education Censorship – Bans on teaching certain aspects of gender identity and LGBTQ+ topics in schools, so that young people cannot learn about trans people and their history.
