美国的社会工作未能回应该国历史上对变性人和非二元人群权利的最大立法攻击。在过去几年中，已经提出了数百项法律，旨在禁止跨性别和非二元人群参与公共生活，以及将性别肯定医疗保健定为刑事犯罪，并试图将跨性别青年从支持家庭中移除，以强制解除过渡。从特朗普政府开始，这些法案的数量呈指数级增长，目前在美国60%以上的地区提出。本文批判性地回顾了国家社会工作组织未能解决跨性别者在其教育学中的系统性擦除以及社会工作专业中积极帮助起草反跨性别立法和倡导转换疗法的特定行为者的行为的方式，违反了证据基础和道德准则。
Social work in the US has failed to respond to the largest legislative attack on the rights of transgender and non-binary people in the history of the country. Hundreds of laws have been proposed over the past several years, aiming to ban transgender and non-binary people from public life, as well as criminalising gender-affirming healthcare and attempting to remove transgender youth from supportive families for forced detransition. Beginning with the Trump administration, these bills have exponentially increased in number, now being proposed in more than 60 per cent of the US. This article critically reviews the ways in which national social work organisations have failed to address both the systemic erasure of transgender people in their pedagogy and the behaviours of specific actors within the social work profession who are actively helping to draft anti-trans legislation and advocate for conversion therapy, contravening both the evidence base and code of ethics.
