The Policy of Prejudice: Unpacking the Rise of Anti-Trans Legislation

Nearly 670 bills targeting transgender individuals have been introduced across the country this year—a staggering and unprecedented rise. Transgender rights have become a focal point in the broader culture war, largely driven by conservative movements. But what are the real-world consequences of this surge in anti-trans rhetoric and legislation? Joining me to unpack this critical issue is Sasha Buchert, Director of the Non-Binary and Transgender Rights Project at Lambda Legal. Together, we explore the implications of these attacks on a small, but resilient, community simply striving to live authentically, and what this moment means for the fight for equality.
