As promised, Kansas Republicans are trying again to ban gender-affirming care for transgender youths after last year's bill was vetoed.

Kansas Republicans are poised to ban gender-affirming care for transgender minors. The bill bans puberty blockers, hormone treatment and gender-affirming surgeries until 18 years old. The proposal also prevents state employees who work with children from supporting someone’s transition,

The Kansas Senate passed, and the House tentatively approved, a ban on youth gender transition. Do they have enough votes to override a veto?

Kansas Senate passes bill to ban gender-affirming health care for minors, but critics say politicians are inserting themselves in family medical decisions.
