Nebraska’s new law restricting gender-affirming care for anyone under 19 goes into effect this weekend.
The passage of the bill, which survived the filibuster attempt by a single vote, altered Rhea's longtime assumption she would attend the University of Nebraska.Rhea recounted she had contemplated suicide years earlier as her body began to change during puberty. When she came out to her family at age 14, their acceptance and the medical treatment she received, including puberty blockers and later hormones, “saved my life.
“I worry especially because I don't think it's going to get better; I think things are going to get worse,” she said. As for the law's supporters, “I think they're going to push harder. I think they're going to push to try to make it illegal to be trans. Period.” Dworak said he has spoken about developing the regulations with Tesmer, whom he described as collegial and respected in his field. Tesmer was hopeful earlier this week about launching a set of emergency regulations by Oct. 1 until the permanent set could be adopted, Dworak said.Tesmer did not respond to several interview requests from The Associated Press about where he is in the process of drafting the regulations, for whom he has consulted, or when they are likely to be made public.
That document says the health agency hopes to hold a public hearing on the regulations before the end of the year. A public notice of such a hearing, which is required by law to be published at least 30 days before such a hearing, has not yet been published.
