South Dakota Republican Governor Kristi Noem has signed a bill banning gender-affirming health care for transgender people under 18, despite opposition from families, health care providers, and transgender people themselves. The new law denies transgender youth the necessary support that enables them to become thriving transgender adults. #SouthDakota #KristiNoem #GenderAffirmingCare #TransgenderYouth #LGBTQ #MentalHealth
