Federal attacks on trans rights escalate: HRC class action over gender-affirming care ban, DoE removes LGBTQ+ bullying data

The Human Rights Campaign filed a class action lawsuit against the federal ban on gender-affirming care for federal employees, impacting an estimated 39,400 people. Simultaneously, the Department of Education removed LGBTQ+ bullying data from the Civil Rights Data Collection, undermining tracking of anti-LGBTQ+ harassment in schools. These are direct federal policy attacks under the Trump-Vance administration.
