UPDATE: Senate File 144 failed in committee.  

***

Senate File 144 would prohibit life-saving gender affirming care for transgender youth in Wyoming.

The ACLU of Wyoming opposes Senate File 144. Like all health care, health care for transgender youth is individualized and based on the needs of each particular person. This bill would take away private health care choices around the provision of medical care. Such choices should be made between a doctor and a patient, not politicians.
