![High Court Must Acknowledge US History Of Anti-Trans Laws
By Paisley Currah · Listen to article
Law360 (February 24, 2025, 6:57 PM EST) --
Paisley Currah
President Donald Trump's sweeping executive order directing federal agencies to change policy and rules that make transgender people's lives harder marks the latest chapter in a long history of government-sanctioned discrimination against this group.[1]
The U.S. Department of State must now prevent transgender people from obtaining passports that align with their gender identity. Federal agencies are required to remove existing protections in shelters, schools, prisons and workplaces and to deny funding to contractors who serve transgender clients. This dramatic assertion of state power to target transgender people might seem unprecedented — but it's not.
During December's oral arguments in United States v. Skrmetti, Justice Amy Coney Barrett suggested that "we don't have a history of de jure discrimination against transgender people."[2]
As a political scientist who has studied how governments treat transgender people, I must respectfully disagree.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xdr5afgwondir6s5xjp45nkc/bafkreifz6lkhyrpin5icw26msctuzwlidatxxgkgjwyia4uslydu64k2je@jpeg)

Is this successful lobbying? Or exactly what someone would say to Senator Hawley if they were blowing him off and knew they were eventually going to change nothing?
Senator Hawley appears to be successfully pulling the FDA to reconsider its approval of mifepristone, citing safety concerns as a pretext.
