Under the new law, healthcare workers may not prescribe puberty blockers or hormone treatments or perform gender-affirming surgeries for minors, even though such surgeries are almost never done on minors.
Research shows denial of gender-affirming care leads to increased stress, depression, and suicidal behavior among trans people. Doctors and parents testified these treatments can be lifesaving.
Campaign for Southern Equality opposes the law, working to provide resources for families. Trans journalist Erin Reed criticizes the ban as a violation of recent court decisions.
