Wyoming has banned gender-affirming care for minors, with Gov. Mark Gordon (R) signing the law, Senate File 99, last Friday. With his signature, Wyoming became the 24th state to ban or restrict such care.

The law will punish any medical professionals (including pharmacists) who provide minors with puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, or gender-affirming surgeries (though such procedures are almost never conducted on minors). Any healthcare professional who provides such care can have their medical license revoked and be banned from practicing medicine in the state.

With doctors and pharmacies required to end such care, the law will effectively force an untold number of trans youth to de-transition, negatively impacting their mental health.

In a statement opposing the new law, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Wyoming wrote, "This ban won't stop Wyomingites from being trans, but it will deny them critical support that helps struggling transgender youth grow up to become thriving transgender adults."

It's almost like the states are playing a game, with the objective of seeing which one can be the most evil.  *Grrr*
