Trans Rights Under Fire | Texas News

The Supreme Court just gave states the green light to bar transgender girls from girls’ and women’s sports, siding with conservative justices in a 6-3 vote — a move that aligns with existing laws in places like Idaho and West Virginia. Meanwhile, the administration is cutting off federal Medicaid and CHIP funding for gender-affirming treatments for minors, including hormone therapy and surgeries, effective October 13th — though some patients get a grace period until April 2027. LGBTQ+ advocates are calling it a direct assault on healthcare rights and are preparing legal challenges, while the administration defends it as a safeguard for young people. This latest move joins a wave of transgender policy shifts — from sports bans to passport changes — all sparking fierce backlash and legal battles across the country.
