A new law going through the South Dakota Statehouse could put doctors in jail for providing gender affirming care to transgender minors. One critic calls it a 'blatant attack on trans kids.'
“Transitioning is something that I've been hoping to get and been yearning for,” Aerin said. “I recently managed to convince my family to allow me to start transitioning, and I'm so close to getting there. To take it away from me when I'm so close would be a huge blow to my hope.”
“You hear things like, ‘They’re putting testosterone injections into our 12-year-old South Dakota daughters and cutting off their breasts.’” Dylan said. “Like, first of all, they’re boys, and, second of all, nobody is doing that. The level of misinformation is so upsetting. People often hate things they don’t understand.”
For Rob, a father of a 13-year-old trans girl on puberty blockers in Sioux Falls, this aspect of the legislation feels particularly upsetting. Rob asked to be identified by only his first name. “If you stop the injections, guess what happens? Natural puberty,” he said. But letting his daughter go through puberty without blockers wouldn’t be reversible.“What’s the harm? There’s only one harm, and that's the bill getting pushed through.”
