Over a dozen states are resisting the new Democratic administration’s commitment to expanding transgender rights dramatically by proposing legislation that would restrict access to things such as puberty blockers and public bathrooms.

On Monday, President Biden signed an executive order overturning his predecessor’s ban on transgender troops serving in the military. The week prior, on his first day in office, Biden issued an executive order aimed at “preventing and combating discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation,” forcing any school that receives federal funds to allow transgender students to participate in sports in accordance with his or her gender identity.
