Transgender rights

Legislation that aimed to bar transgender women and girls nationwide from participating in school athletic competitions designated for female athletes failed to advance Monday.

Texas is suing three physicians over claims that they violated the state’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors, calling the doctors “scofflaws” in lawsuits filed last fall that threaten to impose steep fines and revoke their medical licenses.

The complaint marks an escalation of the Republican administration’s criticism of the judiciary, which has been weighing a slew of legal challenges to Trump’s actions.

The back-and-forth came in the middle of the president’s remarks welcoming the nation’s governors to the White House.

During a meeting of governors at the White House on Friday, President Trump asked Maine Gov. Janet Mills if she would comply with his order barring transgender female athletes from competing at schools receiving federal funding.

The Trump administration recently issued guidance that uses sex assigned at birth to determine gender markers on newly issued passports.

Just last year, the EEOC updated its guidance to specify that deliberately using the wrong pronouns for an employee, or refusing them access to bathrooms corresponding with their gender identity, constituted a form of harassment.

A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to restrict transgender health care for anyone under 19.

The Department of Education took another step Tuesday in advancing the Trump administration’s new transgender policy for sports by asking the NCAA and a key high-school sports organization to restore titles, awards and records it says have been “misappropriated by biological males competing in female categories.”

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said it would be removing all references to transgender people from its public materials.

The NCAA changed its participation policy for transgender athletes on Thursday, limiting competition in women’s sports to athletes assigned female at birth only.

President Donald Trump is ready to take his fight against transgender athletes to the International Olympic Committee ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

In a speech on Wednesday, President Trump said his administration was putting every school receiving federal funding on notice that if they “let men take over women’s sports teams” they would “be investigated for violations of Title IX.”

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing in female sports.

A federal judge has agreed to temporarily block prison officials from transferring three incarcerated transgender women to men’s facilities and terminating their access to hormone therapy under an executive order signed by President Donald Trump.

President Trump signed two executive orders restricting transition care for minors and prohibiting federal funding from promoting “gender ideology.”

On Monday, Trump directed the Pentagon to conduct a review that is likely to lead to transgender people being barred from military service.

President Trump issued an executive order that says transgender people “cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service.” News4’s Aimee Cho reports on what it means for transgender military personnel. 

A trial is scheduled to begin Monday in Bismarck over North Dakota’s ban on gender-affirming medical care for kids.

The House passed legislation Tuesday that would ban transgender athletes from participating in women’s and girls’ sports at schools and institutions receiving federal funds.
