House Bill 112 would require interscholastic athletes to participate under sex assigned at birth for athletic events starting in elementary school through the collegiate level.
House Bill 113 would prohibit certain medications and medical procedures for the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors, establishing a civil penalty for health care providers providing prohibited treatment.
Love Lives Here community organizer Cherilyn DeVries says studies show that suicide rates drop drastically in transgender youth with proper access to appropriate medical care.
