A ban on gender-affirming care for minors in New Hampshire is included in a sweeping Republican-sponsored bill before New Hampshire lawmakers Tuesday.
People “experience a tremendous amount of relief — and a reduction in symptoms of anxiety, distress, depression — when they can align who they are with their body,” Feldman said. Banning that care would have a “catastrophic” impact on the mental health of people who need it, he added.
In written testimony opposing one of the proposed bans in New Hampshire, Caroline Callery, a registered nurse at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center’s pediatric endocrinology department, described similar impacts. Dr. Jack Turco is an endocrinologist who co-directs Dartmouth Health’s transgender and gender-diverse health program. Withholding gender-affirming care, he said, would violate his ethical obligation as a doctor to do no harm.
Susan Stearns, the executive director of the New Hampshire chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, echoed Feldman’s concerns about the impact of legislative debates over trans rights on youth.which found
