☆ Faced With Wave of Hostile Bills, Transgender Rights Leaders Are Playing 'A Defense Game'
  + stars: | 2024-02-09 | by ( Associated Press | Feb. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +6 min
Now, faced with unprecedented attacks in state legislatures, transgender rights leaders acknowledge they are playing defense — and two of the biggest groups are joining forces to counter the onslaught. “This is going to be a defense game — and a movement-strengthening game,” said Andy Marra, executive director of the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund. Many of laws ban gender-affirming medical care for trans minors or bar trans athletes from competing on girls’ and women’s scholastic sports teams. The national political environment — in regard to LGBTQ+ rights — has changed dramatically since then. Marra, who has been active in the LGBTQ+ rights movement for 20 years, says she remains optimistic in the face of current setbacks.

Governor Ron DeSantis' campaign shared a video highlighting his anti-LGBTQ+ bills. An expert told Insider the video is a "culmination" of DeSantis' "extremely homophobic" campaign. "They know exactly what they're doing," Caraballo told Insider. The organization previously threw its support at DeSantis when he signed his "Don't Say Gay" law. The DeSantis campaign and Pushaw did not respond to a list of questions sent by Insider.

☆ A rash of proposed Florida laws use 'genocidal rhetoric' to attack trans people, legal experts say
  + stars: | 2023-03-13 | by ( Katherine Tangalakis-Lippert | Katie Balevic | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
If passed, the bills would restrict access to gender-affirming care and classify it as child abuse. Experts told Insider the bills are posturing ahead of the 2024 presidential race. New legislation 'short circuits existing law'The proposed new bills go further to expand anti-trans legislation than others across the nation, disrupting established custody and health care precedent, legal experts told Insider. "I think that's important, just to note how brazen the language has become — it's genocidal rhetoric," Caraballo told Insider. "This is all about politics, and this is all about bolstering DeSantis is run for the presidency," Caraballo told Insider.
☆ Florida courts could take 'emergency' custody of kids with trans parents or siblings — even if they live in another state
  + stars: | 2023-03-04 | by ( Katherine Tangalakis-Lippert | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Florida Senate Bill 254 would grant courts emergency custody of kids who receive gender-affirming care. The bill, introduced Friday, would also allow the courts to modify out-of-state custody agreements. The bill would grant officials authority under the law that protects kids from domestic violence. "The court must vacate, stay, or modify the child custody determination to the extent necessary to protect the child from the provision of such prescriptions or procedures." "The bill goes even further to violate interstate comity by authorizing the courts to vacate child custody determinations of other courts only if the child is trans.
☆ Texas GOP looks to restrict transgender health care and drag shows
  + stars: | 2022-11-16 | by ( Zachary Schermele | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +4 min
Texas Republicans introduced several bills this week that target the transgender community, including at least two measures seeking to criminalize gender-affirming care for minors and one bill looking to prevent children from attending drag performances. For minors, this type of care typically includes puberty blockers, which are recommended to trans youths before the onset of puberty, or hormone therapy for teenagers. The Texas bills come on the heels of a previous attempt this year by the state’s attorney general, Ken Paxton, to deem transition-related care for minors as child abuse under state law. Greg Abbott, the state’s Republican governor, subsequently called on citizens to report parents of transgender minors to the state if they suspect these minors are receiving gender-affirming care. The state’s current definition of “sexually oriented businesses” includes any venue where two or more people perform nude and alcohol is served.
