Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh challenges new restrictions on gender-affirming care for trans youth, arguing they violate the Constitution and Civil Rights Act.

Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh is challenging the state's new restrictions on gender-affirming care for transgender youth, arguing they violate the Nebraska Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These rules, established after Legislative Bill 574 was passed in 2023, impose significant barriers to accessing care, including waiting periods and additional requirements not faced by cisgender patients. Cavanaugh claims these regulations exacerbate mental health issues among transgender minors.
