Alarm grows over impact of states banning trans youth treatment

By Justine Coleman and Lauren Vella - 04/11/21 08:00 AM EDT   Medical experts and LGBT advocates are sounding the alarm over the physical and mental health risks to the transgender community after at least 19 state legislatures, including Arkansas, have proposed or passed bills seeking to ban trans youth treatment.  Proponents of the bills have argued that the legislation is in place to protect children from making irreversible decisions about their bodies.  But earlier this week, doctors and LGBT organizations defended treatments such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy, and warned about a potential increased suicide rate among trans youth if such legislation is enacted.

Brazil s leader nixes lockdown despite huge COVID-19 surge

RIO DE JANEIRO    Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro insisted Wednesday that there will be “no national lockdown,” ignoring growing calls from health experts a day after the nation saw its highest number of COVID-19 deaths in 24 hours since the pandemic began. Brazil’s Health Ministry registered 4,195 deaths Tuesday, becoming the third country to exceed the 4,000 daily mark as Bolsonaro’s political opponents demanded stricter measures to slow down the spread of the coronavirus. Brazil has now recorded nearly 341,000 COVID-19 deaths, second only to the death toll in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins University. But Bolsonaro, who has dismissed the disease as “a little flu,” has consistently resisted pressure to impose health restrictions on his country.
