Join Us in Celebration:
Families Block an Idaho Law Banning Healthcare for Trans Youth
Just before the new year, we celebrated a victory for transgender youth, their families, and their medical providers: A federal judge blocked the enactment of a new Idaho law created to ban gender-affirming care for trans people in Idaho under 18 years old.
The block on this healthcare ban is a feat for our movements against gender-based violence. When we restrict people's bodily autonomy, we create ripe conditions for sexual & domestic violence. This recent block fuels a safe(r) future for Idahoans.
The ACLU of Idaho, Wrest Collective, and others in beloved community made this celebration possible. Although their work continues, it is imperative to pause and recognize their achievement.
