A record number of bills targeting trans people in the U.S. have passed this year.

In February, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott issued a directive, classifying gender-affirming care as child abuse.

1A recently traveled to Austin to speak with trans kids and their families as part of the Remaking America Series.

This conversation is part of our Remaking America collaboration with six public radio stations around the country. Remaking America is funded in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
