A Wave of Anti-Transgender Legislation

Just four months into 2021 and there have already been more than 80 bills, introduced in mostly Republican-controlled legislatures, that aim to restrict transgender rights, mostly in sports and medical care.

Guest: Dan Levin, who covers American youth for The New York Times’s National Desk.
