South Dakota's transgender health bill is effectively dead, opponents say - NBCOUT
LGBTQ advocates protest outside of the South Dakota Capitol before a bill banning gender-affirming care for trans youth was blocked.The South Dakota Legislature on Monday effectively killed House Bill 1057, which sought to block physicians in the state from providing puberty blockers and gender confirmation surgery to transgender children under 16.which
means a bill has been effectively killed because the state’s part-time Legislature has only 40 working days. "It's gone," Quinncy Parke, 17, who is transgender and testified against the bill, told The Associated Press. “I don’t have to worry about it until next year.”“Though supporters claimed House Bill 1057 was aimed at protecting vulnerable youth, it was clearly fueled by a fear and misunderstanding of transgender South Dakotans,” said Libby Skarin, policy director for the group. “It’s time we stop these attacks and the very real harm they cause to transgender youth across our state.
