Three years ago, Lawyers for Good Government began quietly building something we hoped we’d never need: a nationwide legal resource dedicated to protecting transgender people’s rights and access to health care.
Today, that resource is live: the Policy Resource Hub for Transgender Rights.
This is more than a tracker. It’s a comprehensive, in-depth legal resource, built to help transgender people, families, providers, lawyers, and advocates navigate this rapidly shifting landscape with confidence.
“Right now, trans people and their families are scared—not just for their rights, but for their very ability to live safely and authentically,” said Khadijah Silver, Supervising Attorney for Civil Rights at L4GG. “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 Legal Landscape Today
For trans people in America, the legal landscape has never been more complex.
In recent years, 27 states have passed laws restricting trans rights, including bans on gender-affirming care for minors, bathroom restrictions, sports participation bans, and forced outing bills. At the same time, other states are working to protect these same rights, creating a patchwork of conflicting laws.
Recent Supreme Court decisions, including U.S. v. Skrmetti, have only deepened the confusion, reshaping the limits of federal protections and making clear that many legal battles will need to be fought state by state, case by case.
For trans people and their families, this means navigating a daily maze of uncertainty around basic rights, safety, and access to healthcare. Healthcare providers are facing conflicting obligations. Legal professionals and advocates are struggling to keep pace with rapid, contradictory changes.
What Makes It Different
The Policy Resource Hub for Transgender Rights delivers:
In-depth legal analysis of laws, litigation, and regulations: each issue area is analyzed in totality across all 56 U.S. states and territories.
Daily updates: research that is updated every business day, so users have the most current information in a rapidly evolving legal environment.
Rigorous vetting: all research is conducted by two teams of attorneys, and every update is vetted by our in-house team of experienced civil rights lawyers, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
Citations to public sources: every update is live-linked throughout to current, publicly available sources, for full context, transparency, and trust.
This Hub isn’t just for lawyers. It’s designed for everyone who needs clear, actionable information:
Transgender people & families navigating their rights at home or considering relocation or travel.
Healthcare providers seeking clarity on obligations & protections when providing care.
Legal professionals & advocates using our detailed analysis to advance cases and protect trans rights.
Powered by a Community of Experts
This resource exists because of the hundreds of pro bono attorneys from across the country who have poured thousands of hours into researching, writing, and updating it—alongside the in-house expertise of L4GG attorneys.
We are deeply grateful for their dedication, skill, and commitment to the trans community.
Looking Ahead
With this Hub, our goal is simple: to cut through the legal chaos and provide transgender people, their families, and their advocates with the reliable information they need—updated every single day.
Today, our message to the transgender community is clear: you are not alone, you belong in your community, and your rights matter — to all of us. We will never stop fighting for you.
