BOISE, ID — The Idaho Senate will now hear a bill aimed at banning gender affirming care for trans youth in Idaho, including banning puberty blockers and hormone treatments. HB 71 is one of the most extreme attacks on transgender health care that we’ve seen across the U.S. The bill would ban medically necessary, lifesaving care for transgender youth – care that the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, and other leading medical authorities have said is essential.

Statement from Rebecca Gibron, CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai‘i, Indiana, Kentucky

“Planned Parenthood stands unequivocally and passionately with the transgender community in Idaho and always will. Gender affirming care is time sensitive and life-saving. Patients, families, and health care providers — no one else — should decide what care is in the best interest of transgender youth, in accordance with current medical best practices. Receiving this care means these children have the greatest chance to thrive. 

Attacks on our freedoms in this state have been relentless. It’s no surprise that the same folks attacking our access to abortion are also pushing anti-transgender policies aimed to strip away the rights of their neighbors and fellow community members.”

People of all gender identities deserve civil and human rights, including the right to high-quality, affordable, and nonjudgmental health care, as well as accurate information about their health care options.
