In Kansas, SB63 bans best-practice healthcare for transgender youth, making hormone therapy, puberty-delaying medication, and surgery inaccessible for any trans person until they turn 18.
Youth can still access mental health care, which is not restricted or banned by this law. Youth and their families may also travel to access care in other states where gender-affirming care has not been restricted.
The Campaign for Southern Equality and Equality Kansas are working with partners across Iowa to provide resources and information to impacted families. Click here to learn more about the Trans Youth Emergency Project.
