A bill banning gender-affirming care for people under the age of 18 is heading to the desk of Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves.
"Mississippi lawmakers are insisting that they know what's best for transgender youth and ignoring the recommendations of every major medical association," said Jensen Luke Matar, Executive Director of The TRANS Program in Mississippi in a statement.
"Patients, along with their health care providers – not politicians – should decide what medical care is in the best interest of a patient. I know from years of working directly with trans youth in Mississippi that they need support, love, and affirmation – not this brazen political attack that cuts off their access to life-saving care," Matar continued.
