TL;DR

Kentucky lawmakers have passed a bill that restricts how doctors and schools treat transgender youths, overriding the governor's veto and objections by state medical associations, education officials, and parents with trans children. The law bans access to gender-affirming health care for trans children, restricts which bathrooms and lockers they use, prohibits discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools, and allows teachers to use students' birth names and pronouns against their wishes. The law's passage comes amid a record-breaking number of anti-trans bills appearing across the country.
