The House Passed a Federal Ban Targeting Trans Youth Healthcare — Here’s What It Means and How We Stop It
The House passed a dangerous bill that would criminalize gender-affirming healthcare and punish doctors for providing medically necessary care. Gender-affirming care doesn’t force anyone to transition — it supports people’s well-being. The Senate can still stop this. Take action with SC Equality.

Promoting Equity, Living Proudly
November 20, 2025
Transgender Day of Remembrance
Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the transgender and gender-nonconforming lives taken by anti-trans violence. We remember their names, their stories, and their light — and we recommit to protecting the living.
TDOR is a solemn reminder that visibility often comes at a cost. Transgender people, especially Black and Brown trans women, continue to face disproportionate violence, discrimination, and erasure. But today is also a call to action: to stand together, to speak truth, and to build a South Carolina where every trans person can live openly, safely, and authentically.
