Alabama governor signs two anti-transgender bills into law

One criminalizes medical care for trans youth and another requires students to use bathrooms that match birth certificates

The governor of Alabama on Friday signed into law two controversial bills: one that criminalizes healthcare providers who offer gender-affirming care to transgender youth and another that requires students to use bathrooms that match the gender on their birth certificates.

Kay Ivey, a Republican, said she believed very strongly that if the Good Lord made you a boy, you are a boy, and if he made you a girl, you are a girl".
