Things to know about the latest court rulings and statehouse action over transgender rights

Another state law banning gender-affirming care for minors is being challenged in court, this time in Texas. Five transgender children and their families sued that state this week over a law that would bar transgender care for them and other minors. At least 20 states have adopted measures to keep minors from getting puberty blockers, hormone therapies or gender-affirming surgery. Nearly all have faced lawsuits challenging them. Most courts that have ruled on them so far have put the laws on hold. North Carolina lawmakers are expected to override a governor’s veto of the ban there soon. Courts are also considering other restrictions on transgender people’s rights, including a Kansas law banning changes to the sex listed on driver's licenses.
