.thereidout Blog: The DOJ's fight against anti-trans bigotry in Alabama should be a warning to other states.
“All people, including transgender youth, deserve to be treated with dignity and respect,” the DOJ said in its“And the Fourteenth Amendment demands that Alabama not ‘deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.’”, making it a felony for medical professionals to provide medications to delay or block puberty, reconstructive surgery and other forms of gender-affirming care to anyone younger than 19 years old.
That law was just one amid a recent wave of Republican-backed measures meant to marginalize trans people by restricting their access to health care, prohibiting them from playing on certain sports teams, and restricting schools’ ability to discuss gender identity in the classroom. Alabama has adopted all of those policies, which may be why the DOJ is focusing on that state in particular.
Opponents of several bills targeting transgender youth attend a rally at the Alabama State House in Montgomery, Alabama, on March 30, 2021.to state attorneys general warning states not to violate trans children’s constitutional rights. “Today’s letter reaffirms state and local officials’ obligation to ensure that their laws and policies do not undermine or harm the health and safety of children, regardless of a child’s gender identity,” wrote Kristen Clarke, head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.
