Iowa lawmakers back a bill that would strip gender identity from state civil rights code

Iowa's Republican-controlled state legislature passed a bill to remove gender identity as a protected class in civil rights law.
The bill would make Iowa the first state to eliminate nondiscrimination protections based on gender identity.
Opponents, including state Sen. Zach Wahls, argued the bill would allow discrimination against trans individuals.
The new legislation aligns with broader trends of anti-trans policies seen in other states.
