Republican governors in Indiana and Idaho have signed into law bills banning gender-affirming care for minors, making those states the latest to restrict transgender health care as Republican-led legislatures continue to curb LGBTQ+ rights this year.
Protesters stand outside of the Senate chamber at the Indiana Statehouse on Feb. 22, 2023, in Indianapolis. Republican Governors in Indiana and Idaho have signed into law bills banning gender-affirming care for minors early April 2023, making those states the latest to prohibit transgender health care this year.
"Permanent gender-changing surgeries with lifelong impacts and medically prescribed preparation for such a transition should occur as an adult, not as a minor," Holcomb said in a statement about the Indiana bill. "The legislature did not ban the various treatments that are outlined," said Ken Falk, the ACLU of Indiana legal director."It only banned it for transgender persons."Under the Indiana law that takes effect July 1, doctors who offer gender-affirming care to minors would be disciplined by a licensing board.
But opponents say such care is vital and often life-saving for trans kids, and medical providers say most of the procedures are reversible and safe. Transgender medical treatments for children and teens have also been available in the U.S. for more than a decade and are endorsed by major medical associations.
The GOP-led Kansas Legislature on Wednesday also overrode Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly's veto of a bill to ban transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports from kindergarten through college.The Arkansas Senate also sent a bill Wednesday to Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders that would require parental approval for Arkansas teachers to address transgender students using their preferred name and pronouns.
