South Dakota families need to travel for youth gender-affirming care

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

We take a look at a piece of legislation from last year and the impact it's had on families today.

In 2023, the South Dakota Legislature passed a ban on gender-affirming care for minors. We ask Elizabeth Broekemeier, the parent of a transgender teen, how it impacted her family.
