His order calls for increased access to gender-affirming health care while countering states that are trying to limit such treatments for transgender minors. JoeBiden GregAbbott TransRightsAreHumanRights LGBTQIA TransIsBeautiful Texas PrideMonth
State legislatures have introduced more than 300 anti-LGBTQ bills over the past year, according to the White House. The Texas Legislature passed a law last year banning transgender students from playing on school sports teams that align with their gender identity.
Transgender children who have access to gender-affirming care have much lower rates of considering suicide than those without access, according to medical experts. In Texas, there is no law banning gender-affirming care for children, despite a legislative push last year by some Republicans. Biden’s order also asks the health department to lead an initiative aimed at reducing youth exposure to conversion therapy and expand awareness and support for survivors of the practice. Biden is also asking the Federal Trade Commission to see if conversion therapy “constitutes an unfair or deceptive act or practice, and whether to issue consumer warnings or notices,” per the White House. He is also directing department heads to promote an end to conversion therapy worldwide.
