gender identity

Hormone therapy and other types of gender-affirming care for transgender minors remain legal in the state, even as the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a ban in Tennessee.

Tuesday’s ruling means transgender or nonbinary people who are without a passport or need to apply for a new one can request a male, female or “X” identification marker rather than being limited to the marker that matches the gender assigned at birth.

The U.S. State Department is no longer allowing passport applicants to choose their sex marker. Instead, the department will determine your sex for you — but it's unclear how.

Michigan Republicans are targeting gender-affirming care for transgender minors in a pair of bill packages introduced in the state House and Senate last week.

Jay Kaplan, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan, discusses the impacts of the executive order by President Donald Trump on gender-affirming care.

People are worried their “rights are being taken away," says Roz Gould Keith, executive director of Stand with Trans, or that "they can no longer access gender affirming care."

The Michigan Supreme Court has ordered all judges to address people in court by the pronouns they use or by “other respectful means.”

At issue is whether plaintiffs, defendants, witnesses, and others can choose how they will be identified in court proceedings.

Starting November 10, there will be a gender-neutral choice in addition to “M” or “F” on Michigan driver's licenses and state IDs.
