This bill, which passed the State House under cover of night, is a cowardly attack on the bodily autonomy of all of our communities.

Today, the North Carolina Legislature advanced two bills marked by government intrusion in healthcare.

Today the North Carolina House Health Committee voted to advance HB808, a bill that would restrict access to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under the age of 18.

In the past week, 450+ medical and mental health providers in NC signed a letter opposing legislative attacks on the LGBTQ+ community.

Today the North Carolina House Health Committee voted to advance HB819, a bill that would grant a broad "license to discriminate" for a wide range of healthcare workers.

Today, the NC Senate passed SB 631, which bans trans young people from participating in sports congruent with their gender identity.

Today, the North Carolina House passed HB 574, a trans sports ban preventing trans youth from playing the sport that matches their gender.

Today, while trans sports ban SB 631 was being heard in committee, NC lawmakers filed HB 673, a drag ban that would make drag performances illegal on public property or in the presence of anyone under the age of 18.

This week, the North Carolina Legislature filed a series of bills targeting the rights of trans youth in sports and healthcare.

We're deeply disappointed and angered by the passage of this bill.
