Someone who knows this please tell me what I am misunderstanding, though this is not related particularly to this article.
What is "gender affirming care"? When i hear that I am thinking of some racist dad who is forcing their son to go to some camp to get the gay 'affirmed/corrected' out of him or something along those lines.
I feel like I keep misreading the different definitions of what is meant where and why.
Gender affirming care is for transgender people and it covers a lot of things, including but not limited to:
- Hormones
- Surgery (includes more than genital surgery, which kids don’t get)
- Therapy
- Choosing a new name and pronouns
- Wearing clothes that match your gender expression
- Getting a haircut that matches your gender expression
- General support for exploring your gender and gender expression
What you’re thinking of is called conversion therapy.
Specifically the opposite and as it relates to trans kids I believe.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The law bars health professionals from performing gender-transition surgeries, prescribing puberty blockers and overseeing hormone treatments for patients under 18.
“Healthcare is a human right – and it breaks my heart to see lawmakers rip away life-affirming and often life-saving medical care from transgender youth in South Carolina.
No one should be forced to leave their home state to access the care that they need and deserve,” Uplift Outreach Center Executive Director Raymond Velazquez said in a statement after lawmakers passed the ban.
As the bill advanced in the General Assembly, doctors and parents testified before House and Senate committees that people younger than 18 do not receive gender-transition surgeries in South Carolina and that hormone treatments begin only after extensive consultation with health professionals.
Research has shown that transgender youth and adults are prone to stress, depression and suicidal behavior when forced to live as the sex they were assigned at birth.
“To all of the young people in South Carolina and their parents who are reading this news and feeling fear for the future, please know: No law can change the fact that you are worthy of dignity, equality, joy, and respect,” said Cristina Picozzi, executive director of the Harriet Hancock Center, an LBTQ advocacy nonprofit.
