<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/idaho" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Idaho</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/indiana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indiana</a> became the latest Republican-led states to implement bans on sex-change-related treatment for minors.</p>
<p>On Tuesday night, Idaho Republican Governor Brad Little signed a bill that outlaws puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and transition-related surgeries for minors, <a href="https://www.kivitv.com/news/gov-little-signs-house-bill-71-banning-gender-affirming-care-for-minors-in-idaho" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Idaho News 6</a>. Medical practitioners who knowingly violate the ban face the prospect of a felony, and if convicted, they could land in <a href="https://legislature.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/sessioninfo/2023/legislation/H0071.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prison for up to 10 years</a>.</p>
<p>In Indiana, Republican Governor Eric Holcomb signed similar legislation that goes into effect <a href="https://www.wndu.com/2023/04/05/gov-holcomb-signs-bill-banning-gender-affirming-care-into-law/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on July 1</a> and requires youths taking medication to transition to stop by the end of the year.</p>
<p>&#8220;Permanent gender-changing surgeries with lifelong impacts and medically prescribed preparation for such a transition should occur as an adult, not as a minor,&#8221; Holcomb said in a statement reported by <a href="https://wgntv.com/news/indiana/indiana-governor-signs-ban-on-gender-affirming-care/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Associated Press</a>.</p>
<p>Roughly a dozen states have now implemented laws or policies that crack down on sex-change-related treatment for minors with more on the way. For instance, Florida&#8217;s state Senate approved on Tuesday a <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/04/florida-senate-ban-transgender-treatments-kids-00090481" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ban on transgender surgeries for children</a>.</p>
<p>Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Lee <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tennessee-gov-signs-bills-protecting-children-from-sex-change-procedures-drag-shows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed legislation</a> last month that bans sex-change procedures on minors in his state. &#8220;We should not allow permanent, life altering decisions that hurt children,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/GovBillLee/status/1578544807055872000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he tweeted in October</a>.</p>
<p>Such bans have prompted legal challenges and intense criticism. The American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Indiana <a href="https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/aclu-sues-indiana-senate-bill-480-gender-affirming-care-gov-eric-holcomb/531-3c14964b-29de-48ad-b848-99c771e360fc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced a lawsuit</a> soon after Holcomb signed the legislation in his state. A <a href="https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/capitol-watch/aclu-of-idaho-to-sue-over-ban-on-gender-affirming-care-for-transgender-youth/277-73950bb7-7c34-49c5-b9ce-008d0e967c17" target="_blank" rel="noopener">similar suit</a> is expected in Idaho.</p>
<p>Boise Mayor Lauren McLean, a Democrat, took aim at the bill just signed by Little.</p>

<p>&#8220;My heart breaks today for every loving parent of a trans child, every doctor who strives to offer life-saving affirming care, and every child in our community targeted by H71,&#8221; McLean <a href="https://twitter.com/boisemayor/status/1643631823627464710" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said on Twitter</a>. &#8220;H71 is the heavy hand of the government coming between parents who deeply care and doctors trained to help, and it puts our most vulnerable kids at even greater risk.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Human Rights Campaign <a href="https://www.hrc.org/resources/attacks-on-gender-affirming-care-by-state-map" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has a map</a> on its website tracking the &#8220;Attacks on Gender Affirming Care by State.&#8221; The map shows court injunctions in Texas, Alabama, and Arkansas are temporarily blocking enforcement.</p>
<p>&#8220;In a coordinated push led by national anti-LGBTQ+ groups, legislators across the country have overridden the recommendations of the American medical establishment and introduced hundreds of bills that target transgender and non-binary youth’s access to age-appropriate, medically-necessary care,&#8221; the group says.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/03/30/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a proclamation</a> to recognize the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-proclamation-condemns-states-with-laws-targeting-transgender-youth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility&#8221;</a> last week, President Joe Biden decried how a &#8220;wave of discriminatory State laws is targeting transgender youth, terrifying families and hurting kids who are not hurting anyone.&#8221;</p>
