Legislative Tracker: Anti-Transgender Legislation

During the 2022 legislative session dozens of states will consider legislation related to LGBTQ discrimination. Some bills will seek to advance the comprehensive nondiscrimination laws that LGBTQ people so sorely need, while others will almost certainly attempt to single out and target LGBTQ people for unfair and unequal treatment. Freedom for All Americans tracked each relevant bill in our 2022 Legislative Tracker, in partnership with the Equality Federation.

Below, findย anti-transgender legislation and policies filed.
