This is the best summary I could come up with:
The head of Florida’s Department of Motor Vehicles announced in late January that the agency will no longer allow trans adults to change the gender markers on their licenses and threatened criminal charges for those who don’t comply.
State legislators largely left trans people undiscussed until 2016, when, less than a year after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, North Carolina passed the nation’s first bathroom-restrictions bill.
Spike Poma, an intersex trans man from Polk County in Central Florida, had been getting testosterone from a Planned Parenthood nurse practitioner for four years, but after the bill passed, he said, the clinic canceled his prescription.
Last year, four predominantly Republican state legislatures — Kansas, Montana, North Dakota and Tennessee — passed laws narrowly defining sex in a way that not only makes it harder for trans adults to update their legal documents but also erodes their protections against discrimination in housing and governmental programs.
And in Ohio, the governor issued a draft order this month that would require health-care professionals to report every time they diagnose someone as trans, prescribe cross-sex hormones or perform a gender reassignment surgery.
Mosley sued her doctors in North Carolina last year and has accused them of lying and telling her testosterone would cure “her numerous, profound mental and psychological health problems,” including borderline personality disorder and trauma from sexual assault.
