The Idaho state House has passed a bill that would criminalize gender-affirming healthcare for transgender children and teens — joining several other U.S. states that have enacted or introduced similar legislation. The bill makes it a felony punishable with life in prison for a doctor to provide the medically necessary care, which includes surgeries and hormone treatments. It would also make it a felony to take trans youth out of the state to receive the lifesaving care elsewhere. The bill now heads to the Idaho state Senate for consideration.
