trans minors and healthcare

Senate Bill 107 would provide refuge for parents from conservative states, who could risk prosecution for allowing their trans children to access gender-affirming care.

“By signing SB 184 Governor Ivey has told kind, loving, and loyal Alabama families that they cannot stay here without denying their children the basic medical care they need,” said Dr. Morissa Ladinsky, one of the physician plaintiffs in the case.

On Tuesday, the Idaho House passed legislation that would make it a felony for parents to seek gender-affirming care for trans minors, punishable with life in prison. 

In a news conference, Hutchinson referred to the bill as an example of “vast government overreach,” and that trans minors “deserve the guiding hand of their parents and of the health care professionals that their family has chosen.”
