At least eight states are seeking to restrict funding for gender-affirming care for transgender adults.

The bills would restrict state funds from using Medicaid to help pay for care for those who use it.

Transgender Americans are estimated to make up less than 1% of the U.S. population over the age of 13 .

Marshall plans on attending a rally with other LGBTQ advocates and allies to call on lawmakers to vote against the bills.

"We are people that are deserving of love, respect, humanity," she said.

"Hormones, to a degree, have saved my life. If I hadn't got on them, I don't know where I would be right now".
