Anti-trans
(adj)
“Anti-trans” is used to describe attitudes, practices, or bills that do not affirm transgender or nonbinary individuals’ genders. There is currently an unprecedented number of bills being introduced and passed to prevent transgender people from receiving gender-affirming healthcare, legal recognition, and the right to publicly exist.

Why it’s important to know this: Many anti-trans bills directly affect transgender and nonbinary students’ experiences in schools. Additionally, it is important to check in with transgender and nonbinary students, as their mental health may be exacerbated by the coordinated attacks on their rights to be themselves (Source, source, source).
