13 trans and nonbinary people making an impact in the Twin Cities and beyond
| | 13 trans and nonbinary people making an impact in the Twin Cities and beyond |
This year, more than 15 states passed laws restricting transgender peopleâs ability to access gender-affirming medical treatment, use bathrooms, play sports on teams that correspond with their identity, and more.
At the same time, Minnesota became one of the first âtrans refugeâ states in the nation, meaning people who seek and receive gender-affirming care in the state are protected under law. LGBTQ+ leaders and organizations have already reported that trans people and their families are visiting and moving to Minnesota for its legal protections and strong social support.
There are many people building community and fighting to protect and expand rights for trans Minnesotans. MPR News is featuring 13 of them in portrait, writing and radio as part of ChangeMakers, a series that showcases Minnesotans from diverse, often underrepresented backgrounds who are making an impact. | |
