In this special episode of The Poor Over Today, we're explaining the debate about gender policy, including where VP Harris and former President Trump stand.

This is the eighth episode of our election collection designed to help

us grow in understanding and compassion on key 2024 election topics. A relatively new but increasingly prominent topic of political debate

involves policies and laws related to transgender individuals who make up roughly 0.6% of the US population.

The three issues at the forefront of this political debate are,

number one, public bathrooms bathrooms number two sports and number three

medical intervention for transgender minors states have handled these topics

differently two states Florida and Utah

require individuals to use the bathroom matching their sex assigned at birth in all government buildings

including schools.

11 states have requirements only in K-12 schools, and 37 states have no relevant laws.

For sports, roughly half of states have laws restricting transgender athletes from participating in women's sports.

The most heavily legislated issue thus far concerns transgender medical intervention,

also referred to as gender-affirming care for minors.

24 states have banned medication and surgery to transition minors.

16 states have protected access to such treatments for transgender individuals for all ages,

and 10 states have no relevant laws.
