- Status is not correct "Hormone replacement therapy is legal for minors in Arizona. I feel like this is an important distinction; the bill only bans surgeries for minors, it does not ban puberty blockers or hormone replacement therapy. The current status is not incorrect per se, however it is very misleading. https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/2R/laws/0104.pdf"
