Transgender Iowans face discrimination and uncertainty under new laws.

TL;DR Summary

Thirteen-year-old Lilly Carriere, who started transitioning from male to female last year, must now use the boy's restroom at school unless she requests special accommodations. The Carriere family is moving back to Minnesota because of these changes.
