Abstract:
Legislation undermining the human rights of transgender and gender-expansive (TGE) people is on the rise. Many U.S. states have passed or proposed laws that restrict gender-affirming health care (GAC), which are largely rooted in scientific disinformation, meaning intentional falsehood. Scientific disinformation presents a significant threat to TGE people, providers of GAC, health care professionals, and the general public. Clinicians, legal advocates, and others need effective strategies to rebut disinformation. This perspective reviews the status of GAC bans and the disinformation strategies that underlie them, and provides practical tools to challenge false claims.
