In the U.S., at least 767 anti-trans bills are under consideration across 43 states, with 34 already passed as of April 2026. These bills primarily target education, healthcare access, and legal recognition.
184 bills currently aim to prohibit gender-affirming care, including bans for both minors and adults.
As of early 2026, the transgender community and broader LGBTQ+ culture are navigating a period of both record-breaking visibility and unprecedented legislative challenges. While more individuals are identifying as LGBTQ+ than ever before, the community faces a sharp increase in targeted legal and social pushback globally.
