Montana State Senator John Fuller has reintroduced legislation targeting transgender youth, specifically Senate Bill 164, which aims to criminalize gender-affirming care for individuals under 16. This follows a previously overturned law and reflects ongoing conservative efforts to limit trans rights in Montana. Supporters of the legislation argue it protects youth, while opponents, including the ACLU, argue it infringes on privacy and the right to medical care. Fuller's track record with anti-trans legislation indicates a broader GOP strategy within the state to influence healthcare policy and the judiciary.
Every major medical association in America endorses the provision of this type of care. This bill would mandate government overreach into private decisions that should remain between families and their treating care physician.
Fuller’s efforts reflect ongoing conservative strategies targeting not just trans rights, but the legal framework surrounding Montanans’ rights to privacy in health care decisions.
