    Wyoming Bans Minors from Gender Transition Medical Treatments, Sparking Controversy and Opposition

    Broke On: Friday, 22 March 2024 Wyoming recently passed a bill that bans minors from receiving medical treatments for gender transition. The legislation, known as Senate File 99, includes provisions that doctors and other health care providers who provide gender-affirming care could have their licenses suspended or revoked. Proponents argue it is a violation of parental rights to make decisions about their child's healthcare without consent. Gov Mark Gordon signed the bill but expressed opposition from the ACLU which argues this ban will deny struggling transgender youth critical support and make their lives more difficult.
