Montana latest to ban gender-affirming care for trans minors

Associated Press  

— Montana became the latest state to ban or restrict gender-affirming medical care for transgender kids Friday when its Republican governor signed legislation that exiled transgender lawmaker Zooey Zephyr told fellow lawmakers would leave “blood” on their hands. The bill “protects Montana children from permanent, life-altering medical procedures until they are adults, mature enough to make such serious decisions,” Gianforte wrote in his letter accompanying the amendments. House Majority Leader Sue Vinton said Zephyr’s language was “entirely inappropriate, disrespectful and uncalled for.” The Montana Freedom Caucus deliberately misgendered Zephyr, using male pronouns in a letter saying she should be censured. “We need access to the medical care that saves our lives.” This was the second legislative session in which Sen. John Fuller brought the bill to ban gender-affirming care for transgender children.
