More than a dozen states have drafted or voted on restrictions to critical healthcare for trans youth.
The latest state to pass a ban on gender-affirming care for minors is Alabama. Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed a bill last week that will take effect in May, barring any legal challenges. Here is Governor Ivey’s statement on why she signed Senate Bill 184:

..."There are very real challenges facing our young people, especially with today’s societal pressures and modern culture. I believe very strongly that if the Good Lord made you a boy, you are a boy, and if he made you a girl, you are a girl. We should especially protect our children from these radical, life-altering drugs and surgeries when they are at such a vulnerable stage in life. Instead, let us all focus on helping them to properly develop into the adults God intended them to be.
This sweeping legislation has garnered a response from the White House and Justice Department.
About 150,000 American kids identify as transgender and about a third of that population is at risk of losing access to this critical healthcare, according to a report from the Williams Institute at UCLA’s School of Law.
But it’s not just trans youth that are being targeted. The livelihoods of doctors and pediatricians who provide this care are at stake too.
Under Alabama’s new law, doctors who prescribe or medically assist someone under 18 years old in their gender transition can be charged with a felony. And across the country doctors in this field are being harassed and threatened.
We speak to three doctors about what gender-affirming care is and the toll this legislation is taking on their patients and professions."

Pretty soon they'll be trying to make women get their husband's permission for birth control. If you are a single woman, then you can't get it because you shouldn't be having sex anyway.

John...this has nothing to do with mens health care or womens health care. This is about CHILD let me say that again CHILD Trans care and I agree with the decision. Religion aside...Children don't know who the heck they are until they get to the teen years and even then they don't know. Their minds have not developed enough to make those decisions. Adults telling them even though they have certain parts they might be the other, well IMHO that is wrong. Children will believe anything adults tell them. When they are over 18 and are considered adults then let them figure it out and I am for heath care if the believe they are trans.
Now, I don't agree nor believe that God makes mistakes but I also believe God gives free choice but they have to live with those choices, now and the mental effects of such down the road. Children don't have the mental capacity to understand what the are. But I don't think health care should be denied.
