House Bill 1057 seeks to criminalize gender-affirming clinical care in South Dakota. As the bill makes its way through the South Dakota legislature, Republican leader Lee Qualm told the New York Times that he is hearing from voters who have different opinions about the bill. The bill is scheduled for debate in the House tomorrow.

We've invited Anne Dilenschneider to join us. She's been working with transgender youth and adults since 1992. She is one of 87 providers in the world (and the only healthcare provider in the Dakotas) who has earned the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) specialty credential in transgender healthcare.
