For the first time in its 40-plus year history, the Human Rights Campaign has issued a 'state of emergency' in response to a record number of bills introduced across state legislatures this year that has already surpassed numbers from 2022.

Nine states have passed bathroom bans, affecting nearly 15 percent of transgender people over age 13—or more than 243,000 of the 1.6 million transgender people nationwide.
