"I was panicking when I found out that the law was passed," Kathy Hotsenpiller recalled. "We had finally gotten to the point where (Hannah) felt good about herself. And then now, they were saying we had six months to get our child off the medications or find a provider outside of Iowa."
Amid a national fervor over transgender care for children, Republican leaders in Iowa passed Senate File 538, which prohibits Iowa doctors from prescribing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or gender-affirming surgeries to transgender people under 18.
Rep. Steve Holt, R-Denison, said the law protects Iowa kids from permanent changes they may later regret. He and other Republican supporters of the law argue there's not enough data to support gender-affirming care for transgender minors, despite all major American medical organizations recommending the treatments.
