Of the many anti-trans pieces of legislation that have been introduced around the country, Arkansas&#8217; bill is considered by many to be one of the most violent and extreme. <\/p>\n<p>If Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson signs the bill&mdash;and it seems likely that he will&mdash;the state will be the first in the country to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth. The bill would effectively rip away care for trans folks up until they&#8217;re 19 years old and would include felony penalties; it would also block public funds, such as Medicaid, from being used for transition-related care.<\/p>\n<p>Young trans people who are receiving care right now will lose access, which medical professionals have warned will have a <u>profoundly traumatic affect<\/u> on patients. The bill would also demand that school workers &#8220;out&#8221; transgender students.<\/p>\n<p>Despite testimonies from trans advocates and healthcare professionals during the state&rsquo;s Senate hearing, the bill still advanced. <u>Michele Hutchison<\/u>, a pediatric doctor, said that there were a number of kids in the emergency room for attempted suicide after the bill passed in the state&#8217;s House. <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/politics\/a35980813\/arkansas-anti-trans-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article contains mentions of suicide rates in trans youth.
