What Does Senate Bill 1 Mean for the LGBTQ Community in Tennessee?

Governor Lee signed Senate Bill 1, which bans all form of gender affirming health treatments for minors in the state. SB1 is very specific and will require any transgender or non-binary children currently undergoing treatments like puberty blockers or hormone therapies to end all of their medical treatments by next March. There aren't necessarily criminal penalties attached to the bill, but health providers could lose their licenses for prescribing the treatments moving forward.
