A mayor from a blue state has proposed a city ordinance aimed at strengthening protections for transgender residents in response to Trump-era executive orders. The proposal would require city agencies to provide gender-affirming care without discrimination and impose penalties on individuals who deny services based on gender identity.

The ordinance is expected to face a contentious debate in local government meetings.
