South Carolina lawmakers are advancing a bill in the House banning hormone therapy, the prescription of puberty-blocking drugs and gender transition surgery for anyone under 18.
House bill 4624 focuses on preventing health professionals from providing the aforementioned therapy, medication and procedure to minors, and also prevents Medicaid from covering such services for anyone under 26 years old.
It specifies that transgender youth would still be able to seek and utilize mental health services.
