Five states consider it a felony to provide certain gender-affirming care to minors

Nineteen states are targeting gender-affirming care — but not all bans look the same. In three states, it’s illegal for people to knowingly help minors receive care.

Note: Mississippi's law banning “conduct that aids or abets” in minors receiving care applies to everyone, including parents. In other states, it applies only to healthcare providers. In North Dakota, providing medication is considered a misdemeanor crime while providing surgical care is a felony. Tennessee's law does not specifically ban "conduct that aids or abets" in minors receiving care but does ban anyone from providing hormone-related medication to minors. Missouri’s state legislature passed a bill restricting access to gender-affirming care and sent it to its governor to sign. Some states allowing exceptions for minors already receiving gender-affirming care treatment before bans were passed only extend access to care through to the end of the legislative session or the end of the year. Data as of June 5.
