Bills targeting transgender individuals in sports, healthcare, and bathrooms are ramping up across the nation during a legislative session that has disproportionately targeted transgender Americans.

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice on April 28 became the latest to approve an anti-trans sports law when he signed a bill implementing “single-sex participation” in sports. The law prevents trans girls and women from participating in sports at the middle and high school levels as well as in college.
