Idaho's Controversial Bills on Gender-Affirming Care and Period Products in Schools.
TL;DR Summary
The Idaho Senate has passed a bill making it a felony for doctors to prescribe cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers or gender-confirmation surgery to minors, facing up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Supporters argue gender dysphoria should only be treated psychologically, despite numerous national industry groups endorsing gender-affirming care. The legislation still needs to be signed off by House lawmakers and Governor Brad Little. If implemented, criminal penalties will begin Jan. 1, 2024.
