Transgender Rights

A federal judge seemed skeptical about an Idaho law set to take effect soon that will make it a criminal offense for transgender people to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity.

Idaho business owners have less than a month to decide how to comply with a new state law criminally banning trans people from using restrooms that align with their gender identity.

After almost three years, a lawsuit challenging Idaho’s anti-trans school bathroom bill has been dropped.

A new Idaho law, which takes effect in July, is now in court after a group of transgender Idahoans decided to sue the state last week.

Six transgender Idahoans on Thursday sued to attempt to prevent from going into effect a new state law that criminalizes transgender people using bathrooms that align with their gender identity, including in private businesses.

On Friday, Gov. Brad Little knocked out the remaining backlog of bills left on his desk, including several controversial measures that received significant debate at the legislature this year.

Boise’s Trans Pride gathering took place on the Idaho Capitol steps hours before Little signed a bill that targets trans people for using their preferred bathroom.

The Idaho House quickly passed a bill Monday that would make it a crime for transgender people to use a restroom, locker room or shower facility that doesn’t match their sex at birth.

School staff and health care providers could face significant fines and lawsuits if they fail to notify parents their child may be transitioning to a different gender.

Idaho House lawmakers want to force private businesses and government offices to ban transgender people from using the restroom aligned with their gender identity.
