ACLU, ACLU-TN, Lambda Legal, and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP sue the state of Tennessee after it bans gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth.

American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee sent a letter to Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare demanding that the hospital end its discriminatory policy denying lifesaving medical care to transgender and nonbinary patients.

Tennessee politicians introduced legislation that would prohibit doctors and families from making necessary life-saving healthcare decisions to support transgender youth.

Governor Bill Lee and other politicians have called for an investigation into transgender health care and stated that they will introduce legislation limiting transgender Tennesseans’ access to health care in response to recent misleading social media posts.

A federal judge today struck down a Tennessee law that required businesses and other entities that allow transgender people to use the public restroom that matches their gender to post a government-prescribed warning sign.

American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee urged Governor Bill Lee to veto SB 2153/HB 2316, which would exclude transgender women from participating on college sports teams consistent with their gender.

The Senate Finance, Ways, and Means Committee stopped advancement of a bill that would have insulated teachers and school employees who choose to harm or discriminate against transgender students by purposefully misgendering them from any accountability or adverse action.

The Tennessee House passed a bill that insulates teachers and school employees who choose to harm or discriminate against transgender students by purposefully misgendering them from any accountability or adverse action.

Today the Tennessee Senate passed two bills intended to prevent transgender student athletes from competing.
