Record Number of Anti-Trans Bills Filed in US Sparks Outrage
With nearly 120 anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ bills already filed across the U.S., 2025 is poised to surpass 2024’s record-breaking number of such legislative attacks. These bills, concentrated in states like Texas and Missouri, target transgender individuals through measures such as stripping legal recognition, enacting bathroom bans, and restricting participation in sports. Further restrictions include book bans and limitations on gender marker changes on identification documents. The upcoming Supreme Court decision on transgender rights will significantly impact the fate of these bills, potentially exacerbating or mitigating the devastating consequences for transgender communities.
