Education and healthcare bills made up more than half of all bills considered in 2024.
These bills target educational settings. They aim to deny students name and pronoun autonomy, forcibly out trans students to their parents, and ban basic gender identity education, among other goals.
The number of bills seeking to prohibit gender-affirming care — medical care supported by every major medical association — has surged in recent years. Many seek to outlaw care for minors and adults, and others would impact insurance coverage or access to services.
Sports bills target athletics in K-12 and higher education. They seek to codify sweeping definitions of gender and sex. Over one third of states have already passed laws banning transgender students from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity.
The performance category grew quickly in 2023, targeting gender non-conforming events and the businesses that host them. However, the language of the laws is so broad that it could extend to performances of Shakespeare.
Nearly a decade after North Carolina's infamous HB2, bathroom bills continue to be proposed. This category captures bills that would restrict access to public facilities.
