Families—not the government—should decide what’s best for their kids. But HB 377 would strip NH parents of the freedom to access necessary medical care for their transgender children. We testified today against this extreme government overreach. Lawmakers must reject HB 377 and protect NH families.

In December, during oral arguments in Skrmetti, Justice Coney Barrett opined, "we don't have a history of de jure discrimination against transgender people." I was flabbergasted. So I chronicled some of the most egregious examples for @law360.bsky.social static1.squarespace.com/static/6160c... .

Today, @gladlaw.bsky.social and @nclrights.bsky.social are in federal court to stop the Trump administration from enforcing its ban on transgender servicemembers while our case continues. This ban discriminates against transgender people because of who they are—not their skills or ability to serve.

President Trump’s executive order, like New Hampshire’s state law, bans transgender girls from participating in school sports—singling them out for discrimination. That’s why GLAD Law and @aclu-nh.bsky.social are adding Trump to our lawsuit.

Transgender service members must meet the same objective qualifications as everyone else. If they meet those criteria, it’s harmful for everyone to deny them enlistment or discharge them. Skill, discipline, and courage is what matters to military service—not identity. youtube.com/shorts/cFnQy...
