INDIANAPOLIS — 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.
More than a dozen other states are considering bills that would prohibit transgender youth from accessing hormone therapies, puberty blockers and transition surgeries, even after the approval of parents and the advice of doctors. Other proposals target transgender individuals' everyday life — including sports, workplaces and schools.
The Indiana ACLU filed the lawsuit on behalf of four transgender youth and an Indiana doctor who provides transgender medical treatment. It argues the ban violates the U.S. Constitution's equal protection guarantees as well as federal laws regarding essential medical services. "In signing this bill, I recognize our society plays a role in protecting minors from surgeries or treatments that can irreversibly damage their healthy bodies," Little wrote. "However, as policymakers we should take great caution whenever we consider allowing the government to interfere with loving parents and their decisions about what is best for their children."
"When I started hormone therapy, it made me feel so much better about myself," said Jessica Wayner, 16, at an Indiana House public health committee hearing last month.

It’s not health care and it’s not gender affirming. It’s mutilation and it’s wrong.
A few victories here and there.
Good
*delusion affirming care
Geez, this head line is loaded with semantics. “Gender-affirming care for minors” = sexually castrating or mutilating a healthy boy or girl based on someone mentally ill desires.
For the Minors who made the change think of it like dying once you're there you can't go back. I see where I am right now and I hear death is Heaven, But what if it isn't ? Hang on as long as you can , most important 'LIVE'. Like the stars in the sky there's only 1 you 'SHINE'.
Stop calling it care, . It's butchery and castration.
Good!
“Gender Affirming Care” is sex denying care. Puberty blockers sterilizes children. Cross sex hormones can harm children for life. Shame on anybody supporting this kind of mutilation.
Ksl.commie
Stop using the left’s language. It’s not “gender-affirming” treatment. It’s the exact opposite.
Nobody cared about drag queens or the trans community until they started going after children. Ru Paul got his start 30 years ago in the B-52s music video 'Love Shack' there were no protests. No threats or calls for the B-52s to be boycotted. Nobody cared. Just leave the kids…
Oh please their tools like every politician and they're signing bills because they care /don't care about our children or trans children, it's too get the herds on both side of the fence riled, distracted, controllled and easy to pick off.
Don't call mutilation healthcare
Good. Anything to prevent clout seeking narcissistic parents from mutilating their kids' reproductive systems, FOR LIFE.
Good.

The saddest part of this story is KSL thinks this is bad.
Your obsession with mutilating children is concerning.
Some states with common sense
It's really gross the hatred, against lgbtq people and rights. It's a witch hunt
Children shouldnt be subjected to mutilation
Mutilating children is not healthcare, KSL.
'gender affirming care' sounds creepy af
More of this, please. Medical intervention for the purpose of gender transitions should absolutely be illegal for minors. They cannot possibly give informed consent to such a thing. Nor does such transition improve the suicide rate of those children. Just stop it.
Please explain “gender-affirming”
Keeping government out of people’s lives, am I right?
“Gender affirming care” is such a ridiculous name.
