Though about half of U.S. states restrict gender affirming care for minors, there are about 133,000 transgender youth in states without bans, including Virginia, that use Medicaid or CHIP coverage for their care, according to KFF Health News.

“Decisions about healthcare, including for transgender youth, should be made by families and their doctors — not the government,” ACLU attorney Wyatt Rolla said in a phone call Wednesday. “It’s important that every parent is able to get the healthcare that their child needs, no matter what kind of health insurance they have.”
