Green Professor of Law, weighed in on the bevy of new laws introduced across the country aimed at banning transgender youth from receiving gender-affirming care. “These laws basically block clinicians from providing gender-affirming healthcare to young people under a certain age, whether or not their parents agree and whether or not the treatment aligns with accepted standards of medical care,” she said. |
