Idaho prohibits gender-affirming care for trans youth.

Idaho's Republican governor has signed a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth, making it one of at least 13 states to enact such a law. Physicians who provide gender-affirming care to people under 18 could face up to 10 years in prison. Supporters say the bill is necessary to "protect children" from medical or surgical treatments for gender dysphoria, but opponents say it will likely increase suicide rates among teens. Gender-affirming care for youth is supported by every major medical organization.
