The Medical University of South Carolina has caved into political pressure once again, leaving hundreds of transgender South Carolinians on the brink of losing care.

Weeks after banning trans youth from accessing critical healthcare, lawmakers hijacked the state budget process to further harass transgender students with a policy that is flatly unconstitutional.

Today, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster signed into law H.4624, a broad intrusion into medically necessary healthcare for transgender South Carolinians.

The vote on H.4624 came even after hundreds of South Carolinians have taken action on the bill over the past four months dozens of South Carolinians testified against the bill in recent months, both to the House and Senate.

Whether you’re a transgender young person or adult, the parent or caregiver or family member of a trans person, a healthcare provider, or a teacher devastated by the message these bills send to young people, please share with us using this form.

Take action with the SC United for Justice & Equality team.

Join our Town Hall on March 19th to learn about the implications of H. 4624, ways to fight back before the Senate vote, and the resources available to families to continue care if the bill moves forward.

H.4624 would catapult South Carolina into the totally wrong direction, making this life-saving care impossible for young people to access in-state and much harder for many adults to access – especially those who are already part of marginalized communities.

The subcommittee meeting is the LAST chance for the public to testify in support of trans youth healthcare access in 2024 – so we want to be sure you know how to take action. There are two ways to testify.

Last week, more than 100 supporters joined us on the steps of the South Carolina Statehouse, to rally together and send a clear message: Harmful, anti-transgender bills are not supported by the people and have no place in the Palmetto State.

“This ban will cause so much anguish, chaos, and confusion for trans youth, their family members, and their loved ones. There is no reason to pass this bill, and it is imperative that the Senate now reject it.”

Today the South Carolina House Medical and Health Affairs Subcommittee voted to advance H.4624 favorably to the full Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee.

It’s critical for advocates, parents, and South Carolinians to fully understand the bill so we can push back as hard as possible and defeat it.
