Utah is likely to become the first state to ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors this year.
, during which lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union argued that such bans on care are discriminatory, using reasoning similar to Thatcher's.A crowd of protestors gathered outside the Utah Capitol on Tuesday ahead of a committee hearing on the bill, during which a number of transgender teens spoke out against it.
In addition to barring access to care for minors who don't already receive it, the bill would also require the state’s Division of Professional Licensing to create a certification for those who provide hormone treatment to minors. The certification process would require “at least 40 hours of education related to transgender health care for minors from an approved organization,” and providers would have to obtain this before they could continue to provide such treatment.
The bill also allows minors to sue medical providers for malpractice for gender-affirming medical care if the minor “later disaffirms consent” before they turn 25.
