Stephen Gruber-Miller and 2 others report:
Transgender and nonbinary Iowans will no longer be shielded by state law from discrimination in housing, employment, education and more after Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a law Friday removing gender identity as a protected class in the Iowa Civil Rights Act.
The signing makes Iowa the first state in the country to take away civil rights from a group it has previously protected in law.
"It's common sense to acknowledge the obvious biological differences between men and women," Reynolds said in a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. "In fact, it's necessary to secure genuine equal protection for women and girls."
