Oklahoma Bans Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

“Oklahoma on Monday became the latest state to ban gender-affirming medical care for minors as Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill that makes it a felony for health care workers to provide children with treatments that can include puberty-blocking drugs and hormones,” the AP reports.

“Oklahoma joins at least 15 other states with laws banning such care, as conservatives across the country have targeted transgender rights.”
