The ongoing battle for transgender rights and healthcare in the US.

Conservative lawmakers in the US are pushing to restrict transgender rights, including access to gender-affirming medical care, while Democratic-controlled states are moving to protect such rights. The battle is playing out in legislatures and courts across the country, with some states passing laws to ban gender-affirming care for minors and others signing protections into law. The US Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit challenging Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth, while governors in at least nine states have signed laws protecting access to gender-affirming care. The push to restrict transgender rights has also led to legislation targeting drag shows in several states.
