** Over 45,000 transgender youth at risk of losing access to gender-affirming care
------------------------------------------------------------

An estimated 45,100 transgender youth ages 13 and older in the U.S. are at risk of being denied gender-affirming medical care due to proposed and enacted state bans.

Arkansas has passed legislation denying gender-affirming care for youth, which impacts an estimated 1,450 transgender youth in the state. Nine other states are still considering these bills, including Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.

Most of these bills would penalize medical providers for delivering gender-affirming care to minors. A few states would extend penalties to parents who seek gender-affirming medical care for their children.
