A bill that would ban evidence-based health care for transgender minors in West Virginia, the state estimated to have more transgender youth per capita than any other in the nation, is headed to the desk of Gov. Jim Justice.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. —
But lawmakers in West Virginia and other states advancing bans on transgender health care for youth and young adults often characterize gender-affirming treatments as medically unproven, potentially dangerous in the long term and a symptom of"woke" culture. The changes, made at the urging of Senate Majority Leader Tom Takubo, who is a physician, would allow some transgender youth to continue receiving medical interventions under certain circumstances, including hormone therapy if they experience severe gender dysphoria.
The House on Saturday unanimously approved the Senate's changes. The amended bill then passed 88-10, with all 'no' votes coming from the body's shrinking delegation of Democrats. The dosage must be the lowest possible necessary to"treat the psychiatric condition and not for purposes of gender alteration," according to the bill.
