Dozens Of House And Senate Republicans Are Backing This New Legislation On Gender Treatments For Minors

According to the report from Fox News, the new legislation prohibits gender transition treatment for minors across the country. The legislation includes fines and prison terms of up to five years for doctors that violate the prohibition.

Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa of California and Republican Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas are the sponsors of the two bills. The second bill is separate from gender transition prohibition. In it, taxpayer-funded transition treatment would be banned.

The two lawmakers said both bills are necessary to protect children and the conscience of the nation, given the push to "normalize early and aggressive gender transition procedures for children."

LaMalfa said this week, "Across the country, vulnerable children are being exposed to radical gender transition ideology and pressured into going through invasive and irreversible medical procedures." "Minors should not be making these permanent decisions as minors. Adults should not be pushing minor children and teens into irreversible decisions either. Let kids be kids and wait until adulthood to make a choice they likely wish they hadn't made as a child."

Marshall said, "Enough is enough." "These procedures can cause severe and irreversible damage to children's bodies and have long-term detrimental health risks. We must protect our kids and make sure American taxpayers aren't footing the bill for these dangerous procedures."

The first bill put forth by the lawmakers is the Protecting Children from Experimentation Act. It states all gender transition procedures would be banned for people under the age of 18. The bill stipulates doctors would be susceptible to fines and up to five years in prison if they knowingly perform these treatments on minors. Minors would also be allowed to sue the doctor who provided the treatment.

The second bill from the two lawmakers would impose a ban on using federal funds for gender transition treatment for minors.

A House aide said LaMalfa is working with the House Anti-Woke Caucus to host a briefing with medical experts and is actively working to raise awareness about both bills.
