Abstract

The article discusses the emergence of "sanctuary cities" in the United States that aim to protect transgender youth amid increasing federal and state-level restrictions on gender-affirming care. As of 2022, 25 states have enacted bans on such care, prompting cities like Sacramento and Olympia to adopt resolutions that limit local cooperation with authorities enforcing these laws. These resolutions are designed to safeguard the rights and privacy of transgender individuals and their families, although they cannot override state or federal laws. Local officials emphasize the importance of community input in these decisions, highlighting a commitment to respect and protect marginalized groups in the face of hostile governmental actions.
