4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans
They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.
1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

Adult Anti-Trans Legal Risk Assessment Map of the United States. Florida, Kansas, and Texas are marked "Do Not Travel" with dark crosshatched shading. Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming are dark red for "Worst Laws Passed." Georgia, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Montana, and South Carolina are orange for "High Risk Within 2 Years." Alaska, Kentucky, and North Carolina are salmon/pink for "Moderate Risk Within 2 Years." Arizona, Delaware, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin, and DC are light blue for "Low Risk Within 2 Years." California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington are teal for "Safest States With Strong Protections."
Youth Anti-Trans Legal Risk Assessment Map of the United States. Florida, Kansas, and Texas are marked "Do Not Travel" with dark crosshatched shading. The majority of states are dark red for "Worst Active Anti-trans Laws." Montana, Nebraska, Alaska, and several others are orange for "High Risk Within 2 Years." States including California, Colorado, New York, and other previously protective states are now light peach for "Moderate Risk Within 2 Years," reflecting the update that no state is considered low risk for transgender youth. No states appear in low-risk or protective categories.
1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here.
For trans adults, Kansas is the newest "Do Not Travel" warning, only the 3rd state to achieve that warning.
For youth, a change to the map increases risk to Medium in many states.
Nationwide risk remains extreme.
