Recent legal actions highlight the ongoing battle over transgender rights and gender-affirming care in the United States. New York's Attorney General, Tish James, has declared Nassau County's ban on transgender athletes participating in sports as illegal, arguing that it violates state and federal constitutional protections by discriminating based on sex, according to Tish James’ office. Similarly, a Long Island roller derby league has initiated a lawsuit against Nassau County's Executive over the same ban. In Texas, Senate Bill 14 has sparked lawsuits related to its stance on gender-affirming care, drawing attention from legal entities such as @McDermottLaw and advocacy groups. Additionally, the New Jersey Attorney General's office's Division on Civil Rights has found preliminary evidence that a public school district may have breached discrimination laws by barring women on parental leave from coaching extracurricular activities. Furthermore, a Harvard Law School center, represented by Aisatu J. Nakoulima and Valerie Xu, has filed a lawsuit against Louisiana for prohibiting gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth, marking another significant legal challenge against restrictions on transgender rights.
