ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Transgender care bans in 20 states are upending the lives of families and medical providers. In places where the care is outlawed, doctors have hastily shut down practices in recent months, leaving patients in the lurch. Clinics in states where it is still permitted are newly contending with a crush of out-of-state patients seeking treatments that include puberty blockers and hormone therapy. The wait for an initial appointment can exceed a year. More than 93,000 youths in the states that have passed bans identify as transgender, according to an analysis of federal data, though other data suggests that only a small number receive puberty blockers or hormones. The number of teenagers who identify as transgender has been rapidly rising over recent years. Some families — there is no way to be sure of the numbers — are already moving or searching for homes in states where care is still permitted. Other families are awaiting the outcome of court challenges to the new laws in states like Florida and Kentucky before deciding on next steps. Still more say they are wrestling with what to do.
