I am going to pin my annual tracker of anti-trans bills. Legislatures are starting early and are extra cruel this year despite the pandemic. The judiciary is even more hostile so we need to stop these from passing. I will keep updating as more bills come.
Alabama's very first pre-filed bill HB1 (as in, HB ONE, First House Bill filed) is a felony ban on treating trans young people and would force the outing of trans and questioning youth in schools.

Texas has pre-filed a similar ban on health care for trans youth. This bill would make treating trans young people consistent with prevailing medical standards of care "CHILD ABUSE" under state law. HB68 Text: https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/87R/billtext/pdf/HB00068I.pdf#navpanes=0
Tennessee has introduced a wholesale ban on trans young people participating in athletics (including those who transition pre-puberty) and would likely bar many intersex athletes. HB3 Text: http://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/112/Bill/HB0003.pdf
And here is Missouri's bill banning care for trans youth. Pre-filed today. https://house.mo.gov/Bill.aspx?bill=HB33&year=2021&code=R
This bill from Mississippi is devastating. Bans care for trans people up to AGE 21! It also forces disclosure to parents. It is alarming and unconstitutional on many fronts. http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/documents/2021/pdf/SB/2100-2199/SB2171IN.pdf
Another bill was filed today in Oklahoma seeking to bar trans people from sports. Even though many sports seasons have been cancelled and many kids are forced into remote learning, this is the priority. http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2021-22%20INT/SB/SB331%20INT.PDF
Here is the latest from North Dakota. An incredibly broad bill banning all trans athletes from sports including those traveling from out of state. https://www.legis.nd.gov/assembly/67-2021/documents/21-0140-01000.pdf
Here is Utah's ban on care for trans minors. They have used the deeply offensive "attempted sex change" language and also included an exemption to perform non-consensual surgery on intersex infants. https://le.utah.gov/~2021/bills/static/HB0092.html
The truly most extreme bill I have maybe ever seen in North Dakota. So much anti-LGBTQ proposals in one. Almost want to do a dramatic reading. https://www.legis.nd.gov/assembly/67-2021/documents/21-0831-03000.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3UJafL9DNTpzbWztQ2lnRX3YdG-2kD0rQGUu3MlErvnjF5WsVLZt3fSyY
Here is Texas proposing a ban on trans youth in sports. https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/87R/billtext/html/SB00373I.htm
Oklahoma's new bill would make it a felony to provide any gender-affirming care to trans people under 21! Including any care to alleviate distress associated with gender dysphoria. It is beyond cruel & dangerous. http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2021-22%20int/SB/SB676%20int.pdf
Iowa's bill banning health care for minors. These are so painful to read, the debates are excruciating to listen to and then I just don't even know how to explain how horrific it will be if one passes. https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=89&ba=HF%20193&v=i
Here is South Dakota's anti-trans sports bill, which would implement a sweeping ban on trans athlete participation sports, threaten all women's sports and risk the state's federal $$$. https://mylrc.sdlegislature.gov/api/Documents/215965.pdf
