Idaho Legislature Advances Bills Restricting Transgender Youth Rights.

Three Idaho mothers express concern over a bill that would ban transgender care for minors, including hormone therapy, “puberty blocker” medications, and surgeries, making it a felony. The bill passed in the Idaho House on a near party-line vote. Opponents said it would likely increase suicide rates among teens. The mothers argue that gender-affirming care saved their children's lives and that decisions about medical treatments for kids should not be made by politicians.
