Alabama governor signs bill banning transgender health care for minors as new laws sweep across Republican-led US states – By Megan Baynes (Sky News) / April 9, 2022
Alabama’s governor has signed into law new rules that could see doctors face jail if they continue to prescribe hormone treatment and puberty-blocking medication to transgender youths.
LGBTQ advocates have described it as a combination “bathroom bill” and “Don’t Say Gay” bill, echoing similarly controversial legislation recently passed in other US states.
The Alabama bills criminalise what’s known as gender-affirming health care for trans minors, which can also include surgery to help align physical characteristics to someone’s gender identity.
