Iowa's civil rights protections no longer include gender identity as new law takes effect

IOWA, UNITED STATES, JUL 1 – Iowa's law removes gender identity protections, limits birth certificate changes, and ends Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming care, making it the first state to repeal such rights, advocates say.

  • Iowa became the first state to remove gender identity from its civil rights code under a new law, leaving transgender and nonbinary residents unprotected from discrimination.
  • The law also explicitly defines female and male based on reproductive organs at birth and removes the ability for people to change the sex designation on their birth certificate.
  • Transgender people say those kinds of policies deny their existence and capitalize on prejudice for political gain.
