Section 28 2.0: A complex web of anti-trans guidance that will make it vastly harder to overturn
Anti-trans rhetoric has been spread across a growing myriad of guidance and documents, with Trans+ children headed back to school facing segregation and teachers banned from “encouraging” them to question their gender.
