Transgender Rights: A Year of Legislative Attacks
Update: 2021-06-22
Description
On June 1, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law that bans transgender girls and women from women’s sports teams. The bill, signed at the start of Pride Month, is the latest in an anti-trans legislative trend. A dozen similar bills have passed this year, and state legislatures have considered more than a hundred others, making 2021 a record year for legal restrictions to transgender peoples’ rights. Carl Charles, a teaching fellow in the Sturm College of Law focused on gender identity and the law, and a staff attorney with noted LGBTQ+ advocacy law firm Lambda Legal, joins RadioEd to discuss the impacts of these bills on the LGBTQ+ community.
