DescriptionOn March 29th 2023, SB 150 was passed in Kentucky which contains a ban on the education of gender identity or sexual orientation.

Widespread discrimination of trans students occur in public schools across Kentucky due to multiple anti-trans laws effecting students such as bathroom bans forcing students to use facilities by their assigned gender at birth, outing trans students to parents, and prohibiting teachers to use student's preferred pronouns.

Additionally, on November 7th, 2025, the 6th Circuit Court ruled that cis students may discriminate against trans students by repeatedly and intentionally misgendering them under no consequence. Trans students can be censored and face punishment for misgendering cis students for "violating their scientific and religious beliefs" the judge ruled. This court decision effects all trans students in public schools who live in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee.
