Share of transgender youth subject to bans on school sport participation U.S 2024
As of March 14, 2024, 37 percent of transgender youth aged 13 to 17 years in the United States were living in a state with laws preventing transgender students from participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity. In recent years, there has been a rise in state legislation restricting LGBTQ+ students, including laws denying transgender students the use of bathrooms or locker rooms corresponding to their gender identity and the banning of books containing LGBTQ+ characters or themes from K-12 classrooms and libraries.
