trans youth health care ban

“I think an apology for loving the people in Oklahoma is something that I cannot do,” Rep. Mauree Turner said.

Texas ranks third among states that have introduced the most anti-LGBTQ+ bills this year.

One advocate said the bill wants “to force trans people out of public life and restrict gender-affirming care access for all trans people, regardless of age.”

The bill contains numerous falsehoods about trans youth, including some around the story of David Reimer’s suicide.

The boy was left “shaking and distressed” by the interrogation.

Abbott’s order to investigate trans-supportive families for “child abuse” was so bad that state employees were told never to discuss it in writing.

The hospital’s own phone operators and website made the situation much much worse.

Arkansas cannot enact its law banning gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth.

The lawsuit states that his suspension was a “blatant abuse of power” that violated his constitutionally protected rights to free speech.

Bans on gender-affirming care for trans youth could make the problem far worse.
