Thanks to Texas’ governor and attorney general, Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton, and officials in 14 other states, an estimated 58,200 transgender youth and young adults ages 13 and older are in danger of being denied access to gender-affirming healthcare, according to a new report from the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law.

As of March 18, the institute reports, 15 states have restricted access to gender-affirming care or are currently considering laws that would do so.

These bills, according to Williams Institute research, jeopardize access to care for 54,000 transgender youth ages 13-17, which is nearly one-third of the estimated 150,000 transgender youth in the U.S.

And more than 4,000 young adults ages 18 to 20 in Alabama, North Carolina and Oklahoma would also be at risk of losing access to gender-affirming care under proposed bills that would apply to young people over the age of 18.
