🧵 @disha_rc and I published our analysis of 142 state-level bills that restrict gender-affirming care (GAC) for trans children and adults. It’s a result of months of work and one of the most challenging stories I’ve worked on. 1/10

I thought I knew the landscape of anti-trans bills well but doing the analysis and seeing patterns across bills opened my eyes. Read the story to get the full analysis and data. 10/10 👉

Bills also allow 3rd parties to sue those providing GAC. “What this is meant to do is essentially incentivize massive amounts of lawsuits that are impossible to stop and to make it impossible for any provider to actually provide this care” says @Esqueer_ 9/10.

OK SB345, which hasn’t passed, says: “It shall be unlawful for a person under the age of [21] years to undergo gender reassignment medical treatment in this state.” Doing so is a felony carrying a minimum three-year prison sentence and maximum of life. 8/10.

As Vivian Topping from @EqualityFed puts it, even the introduction of bills seeking to ban gender-affirming care can cause uncertainty within the trans community and deter doctors from providing treatment. 7/10
