"Bathroom bans have continued to pass across the country, including in Idaho, where one could result in a five-year prison sentence."
"The Supreme Court ruled against conversion therapy bans, opening the door for conversion therapy to be re-legalized in many states."
"The Supreme Court has also ruled in favor of California teachers forcibly outing trans kids and misgendering them in class."
In early 2023, trans rights have deteriorated significantly, with at least nine states banning gender marker corrections on licenses. Bathroom bans have been enacted, and the International Olympic Committee has reinstated gene-testing for female athletes.
