Several states are seeking to ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth
Many of the bills introduced this session would criminalize both healthcare providers and parents who seek treatment for their transgender children. Arizona's SB1138, passed this session, specifically bans gender-affirming surgery for minors but does not go into effect until March 2023.

Arkansas and Alabama have both passed laws banning healthcare providers from giving gender-affirming care, but both laws have been blocked from going into effect by federal courts.
The Texas legislature is not in session this year, but Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state agencies in February to investigate parents for child abuse if they provide gender-affirming care to their transgender children.
