This collection of a record of the past several years of anti-trans bills and enacted legislation was partially inspired by the work of Allison Chapman, Alejandra Caraballo, and Erin Reed, whose Google Sheet documenting 2023's anti-trans legislation and its progress served as a format model and then modified slightly. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fTxHLjBa86GA7WCT-V6AbEMGRFPMJndnaVGoZZX4PMw/edit?pli=1#gid=0

They, along with Evan Urquhart, Mira Lazine, and (as of late March 2024) myself, are maintaining a current version with the 2024 bills here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x8FDh50ouBldIpxnCdSb745pyYISYLLKp9lJligOQZk/edit#gid=0

For my own use I maintain a version of this which includes 2023 and 2024 data, but to avoid risk of me plagiarizing, the version shared here excludes the details from those - although some of the 2023 laws enacted summaries and/or notes remain the same or close to that of the Caraballo/Chapman/Reed document.

Prior to their work, I had been trying to keep track of the development of various bits of anti-trans legislation and policies and construct the story of their evolution through time in the U.S.

The first sheet of content here: Laws Enacted, lists the current anti-trans laws that are in effect or have been blocked by the courts following their passage.

Next follows an Annual count of anti-trans bills and passed laws, tallied by different sources.

After that is the state-by-state tally of current anti-trans laws, which I usually sort in order of most anti-trans bills passed to least. It is further broken down by type of law

Following that is a list of my primary sources for these data

The next several sheets are details of the various bills proposed - regardless of whether the passed - organized by year.

In this vesion, I do not include the 2024 or 2023 bills beyond those which were made Law on the second sheet.

The next several sheets tally the bills from prior years: 2021-22; 2018-20; and before 2017. Interspersed in those are some additional court decisions and State and Federal policies affecting trans people which likely influenced legislation

Finally, I have a reorganized sheet showing anti-crossdressing laws in the U.S. from the mid 1800s through the mid 1900s, taken largely from:
