Oregon has a protective legislative landscape for transgender individuals. While anti-trans bills have been introduced (10 in 2023, 14 in 2025), none have passed. Instead, the state enacted HB 2002 in 2023 to protect gender-affirming care.
2023:

- Sports: Prohibiting biological males from female-designated athletic activities; requiring school districts to designate competitions by biological sex
- Bathroom: Removing menstrual product requirements in male bathrooms
- Education: Prohibiting instruction on sexual orientation/gender identity before fourth grade without parental consent; requiring parental notification and consent for questionnaires/health screenings
- Healthcare: Banning sex alteration procedures or irreversible gender reassignment surgery on minors; requiring parental notification for minor treatments
