The North Carolina Legislature overrode vetoes by Governor Roy Cooper of several Republican bills targeting transgender youth. One bill bans gender-affirming healthcare for trans minors. Another prohibits instruction about gender identity and sexuality for K-4 students. A third prevents trans girls from playing on sports teams matching their gender identity. Advocates called this an “all-out attack” that will harm young people. Over 550 anti-LGBTQ bills have been proposed nationwide this year. Notably, a Democratic state representative recently switched to the Republican party, giving them the votes needed to override vetoes.
