        In April 2023, Little signed House Bill 71 into law, banning anyone under the age of 18 from receiving puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or gender-affirming surgery beginning in 2024. Doctors who violate the law face up to ten years in prison. It offers no exemptions for minors currently taking puberty blockers or undergoing hormone therapy.

        Yea its over for Idahoans and then the rest of us. The spread stresses me out a lot too. With the recent 4th circuit case we can lose adult care and looks like private bathroom bans too. Fucked.

          That 4th circuit case decision is wild. Not unexpected with the state of America I guess but ugh. Feels like the best case scenario would be it’s up to the states so there are some safe spaces, but that leaves so many people stuck in places trying to erase them.
