Idaho Governor Brad Little Signs Bill Criminalizing Gender-Affirming Medical Care for Transgender Minors

Idaho Governor Brad Little has signed a bill into law that criminalizes gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors, including puberty blockers, hormone treatment, and gender-affirming surgeries. Opponents argue that the bill is an unnecessary and harmful restriction on the rights of transgender minors, while supporters argue that it is necessary to protect minors from making irreversible decisions about their health and wellbeing. The bill is set to go into effect on July 1, 2021, making Idaho the twelfth state to ban or restrict transition-related care for minors.
