The Controversial Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth in Kentucky and Florida.

Kentucky lawmakers passed a bill that bans gender-affirming care for transgender youth and allows teachers to misgender their students. The bill also mandates doctors to set a timeline to de-transition children already taking puberty blockers or undergoing hormone therapy. Teachers would not be allowed to discuss sexual orientation or gender identity with students of any age, and school districts would be required to craft policies that forbid transgender students from using the restroom tied to their gender identities. Opponents have called it unconstitutional, dangerous, and among the "most extreme anti-trans bills in the nation." Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has 10 days to either veto or sign the bill into law.
