NEW RESEARCH


** More than 144,000 transgender youth lost or remain at risk of losing access to gender-affirming care due to bans
------------------------------------------------------------
Our new report finds that an estimated 144,500 transgender youth and young adults ages 13 and older in the U.S. are at risk of being denied gender-affirming medical care due to enacted and proposed state bans and policies.

As of March 24, 32 states have restricted access to gender-affirming care or have considered laws that would do so. The bills carry severe penalties for health care providers, and sometimes families, who provide or seek out gender-affirming care for minors. Many bills prohibit insurance companies from offering coverage or restrict the use of state funds for gender-affirming care.
