Kentucky bill would ban physicians from giving medically necessary care to transgender youth

Well outright banning insurance companies from presumably covering sex changes is insane and likely couldn't hold up against a legal challenge.

For the first part, the rhetoric is just very confused. If we're going to say its a mental disorder that's treated by a sex change, then yes, that would apply to minors just as much as adults. A lot of activists today don't want to do that though and instead insist it should just be an elective procedure that doesn't have to be diagnosed by a health professional aside from being "affirming". In that case minors shouldn't be allowed to get sex changes any more than they can get any other kind of elective cosmetic surgery. Ultimately you have to pick one of those perspectives and I think the "medical treatment" perspective is in the long run the healthier way to look at it.
