gender identity

The case involves a former employee who says she was fired after requesting a religious exemption from providing gender-affirming care. The Trump administration has also launched an investigation.

Michigan Public’s Sarah Cwiek discusses how Trump administration policy could affect U.S.-produced steel. Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor consider updating their zoning laws to allow more population density. A Michigan mom talks about her son’s experience coming out as transgender. And a brief segment about observing flight paths up north.

Hormone therapy and other types of gender-affirming care for transgender minors remain legal in the state, even as the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a ban in Tennessee.

Tuesday’s ruling means transgender or nonbinary people who are without a passport or need to apply for a new one can request a male, female or “X” identification marker rather than being limited to the marker that matches the gender assigned at birth.

The U.S. State Department is no longer allowing passport applicants to choose their sex marker. Instead, the department will determine your sex for you — but it's unclear how.

Michigan Republicans are targeting gender-affirming care for transgender minors in a pair of bill packages introduced in the state House and Senate last week.

Jay Kaplan, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan, discusses the impacts of the executive order by President Donald Trump on gender-affirming care.

People are worried their “rights are being taken away," says Roz Gould Keith, executive director of Stand with Trans, or that "they can no longer access gender affirming care."

The Michigan Supreme Court has ordered all judges to address people in court by the pronouns they use or by “other respectful means.”

At issue is whether plaintiffs, defendants, witnesses, and others can choose how they will be identified in court proceedings.
