Second Helping with Grace & Katelyn - SC’s Anti-Trans Healthcare Bill

Frogmore Stew

Grace and her guest, Katelyn Brewer, discuss the anti-trans bill going through the South Carolina legislature. H4624 bans gender affirming care for minors, eliminates parental choice, sets penalties for doctors, mental health providers and school personnel who offer support. The bill also excludes transgender adults, under the age of 26, from receiving Medicaid coverage. Grace and Katelyn discuss the danger of using misinformation to legislate doubt in a democracy.
