On Saturday, Utah governor Spencer Cox signed a bill banning hormone-replacement therapy and gender-affirming surgery for transgender youth, making Utah the first state to ban such care this year. It comes amid a wave of anti-trans bills across the country
Meanwhile, the ACLU of Utah said that the new law violates due process and equal protection rights guaranteed by the Constitution. “This bill effectively bans access to life-saving medical care for transgender youth in Utah,” said Brittney Nystrom, the executive director of the ACLU of Utah,
. “It undermines the health and well-being of adolescents, limits the options of doctors, patients, and parents, and violates the constitutional rights of these families.”
