In the face of unprecedented legal attacks on the transgender community, Lawyers for Good Government today announced its launch of The Policy Resource Hub for Transgender Rights, a first-of-its-kind resource that brings legal clarity, accuracy and context to trans and nonbinary people, as well as families, advocates, legal or health service providers, legislators and journalists.
As anti-trans legislation spreads across 27 states—often in tandem with attacks on reproductive rights—and just two months after the Skrmetti decision, the Hub provides clear, accessible daily updates on the state of the law impacting transgender people’s lives, including statutes, policies, related litigation, and any constitutional or civil rights protections the state is required to uphold.
While existing trackers count proposed laws or map their spread, L4GG’s Hub focuses on what the law means to you right now. Every entry is reviewed by two attorney teams, and signed off on by L4GG’s expert in-house attorney Khadijah Silver, with publicly available citations and state-specific information built from the ground up by over 500 pro bono attorneys nationwide.
The Policy Resource Hub for Transgender Rights provides:
Daily tracking of state and federal legislation, executive actions, regulations, and court decisions.
Depth of legal analysis: Includes actionable legal analysis on how laws will be enforced in each state, and how they will interact with federal changes and precedents.
Anticipatory litigation strategy: As national protections are gutted, the Hub helps pro bono attorneys and advocates prepare for the coming surge of class actions and state-based lawsuits.
Practical utility: Equips trans parents, legal aid attorneys, clinicians, and frontline organizers with clear, accessible legal guidance on Title IX, sports participation laws, forced outing policies, document changes, interstate travel implications, and more—not just summaries and threat-mapping.
“This is the map through the chaos,” said Khadijah M. Silver, Esq. (they/them), a transgender civil rights attorney and L4GG’s supervising lawyer behind the Hub. “We’ve built the legal equivalent of a 24/7 weather radar for trans rights—because you shouldn’t need a law degree to know your rights, and you shouldn’t have your freedoms dictated by what ZIP code you live in.”
The Hub arrives at a pivotal moment:
In 27 states, gender-affirming care for minors is banned—impacting over 120,000 trans teens
Multiple states have enacted felony-level penalties for doctors and parents providing care
Title IX protections are in legal flux, and forced outing, bathroom, and school sports bans are rapidly expanding
In June 2025, the Supreme Court ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti upheld Tennessee’s ban, shifting the legal battlefield to the states.
““Right now, trans people and their families are scared for their very ability to get care, send their kids to school, relocate safely, or simply live openly and authentically,” continued Silver. “This Hub is our promise to them: you are not alone. We built this so that every trans person, every parent, every provider, and every advocate can cut through the chaos, understand their rights, and know that we will stand with them—every single day.””
The Policy Resource Hub for Transgender Rights builds on L4GG’s commitment to legal clarity and access, following the successful launch of its Policy Resource Hub for Reproductive Health in 2022—a widely used tool for tracking abortion-related laws, litigation, and protections across the country.
