Iowa governor signs gender-affirming care ban, bathroom law

Associated Press  

DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has signed a pair of laws restricting the bathrooms transgender students can use and banning gender-affirming medical care amid a flood of legislation nationwide targeting the trans community. So I just, I hope they know that.” Her endorsement of the laws, which took effect immediately, came just one day after Arkansas’s governor signed a similar bathroom law. In Iowa, the new law bars transgender students from using public school restrooms that align with their gender identity. Reynolds have repeatedly targeted the most vulnerable students with rhetoric and legislation designed to suppress, out, target, ban, and censor Iowa’s LGBTQ+ student communities,” said Iowa State Education Association President Mike Beranek.
