Protections for transitioning
Transgender rights refers to legal protections and social recognition for people whose gender identity differs from the sex assigned at birth.
The term encompasses issues like access to healthcare, legal name and gender marker changes, protection from discrimination, and use of facilities matching one's gender identity: Transgender rights have become a flashpoint in American politics.
The phrase appears most often in debates over policy and legislation.
