"Amid the surge of anti-trans legislation in 2023, some states have taken steps
to safeguard their transgender residents. Recently, a number of states have
passed measures to protect transgender individuals seeking care. This
legislation is in response to trans people crossing state lines who are leaving
states where care is criminalized. Some visit temporarily solely for the care,
while others plan to establish permanent residency.
State laws targeting activities such as "aiding and abetting" gender-affirming
care have led to increased scrutiny, with states like Tennessee and Florida
prepared to investigate companies offering such services across state lines. In
response, protective legislation, known as shield laws, has emerged to defend
patients and providers from out-of-state subpoenas and prosecution. Washington
has become the latest state to enact such a bill, passing it with a 29-20
vote."
