4th Circuit: Gender Identity Is A Protected Characteristic, Blocks State Coverage Bans

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that bans on transgender care by Medicaid and state plans are unconstitutional, recognizing transgender people as a protected class and declaring such exclusions as discriminatory based on gender identity and sex. This decision upholds lower court rulings against North Carolina and West Virginia, which had denied gender-affirming care to transgender state employees and Medicaid recipients, dismissing state arguments that the exclusions applied equally to all individuals.

Massive Defeat For Anti-Trans And Anti-LGBTQ+ Riders In Spending Bill As Dems Hold Firm

The recent spending bill introduced by Congress, which is designed to prevent a government shutdown, managed to omit most of the conservative policy riders aimed at limiting LGBTQ+ protections, including those against gender-affirming care and transgender athletes. Amidst significant negotiations and Republican efforts to enforce these provisions, the final bill includes just one anti-LGBTQ+ policy—a restriction on displaying pride flags on foreign embassy buildings, marking a significant victory for Democrats and LGBTQ+ advocates.
