US EditionLouisiana Senate kills bill that would have banned gender-affirming care for trans minors
- The Louisiana legislature rejected a bill aimed at banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors, bucking the trend of other Republican-controlled states. The bill would have prohibited hormone treatments, gender-affirming surgery, or puberty-blocking drugs for any transgender minor.
- Supporters of the failed bill argued that it would prevent minors from other states seeking gender-affirming health care in Louisiana, while opponents argued that such care is life-saving for those with gender dysphoria. Advocates for the LGBTQ+ community fear that without access to this care, transgender children could face heightened risks of stress, depression, and suicide.
