## Caption

This year, states have introduced more than 100 restrictions on gender-affirming health care for transgender minors. The bills, which are mostly in Republican-controlled states, limit one or both of the main forms of gender-affirming care: medications that can delay the onset of puberty or hormones, and surgeries that aid in gender-transition. Lawmakers supporting the restrictions say they believe gender-based procedures could be harmful to minors. The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics support minors’ access to gender-affirming care, saying that it leads to improved mental health, and that denying such care is linked to a greater incidence of depression and self-harm. #lgbtq #transgender #genderaffirmingcare #transkids #politics #healthcare #wsj #wallstreetjournal #thewallstreetjournal
