Utah Gov. Spencer Cox on Saturday signed a bill banning gender-affirming surgery on minors who have not been diagnosed with gender dysphoria.

“While we understand our words will be of little comfort to those who disagree with us, we sincerely hope that we can treat our transgender families with more love and respect as we work to better understand the science and consequences behind these procedures,” he said.

Cox praised the bill’s sponsor, state Sen. Mike Kennedy, for having a “nuanced and thoughtful approach” to the issue.The bill’s sponsor, state Sen. Mike Kennedy, a Republican family doctor has said government overnight is necessary for vital health care policy related to gender and youth. “More and more experts, states and countries around the world are pausing these permanent and life-altering treatments for new patients until more and better research can help determine the long-term consequences.”

Stop using democrats scam terms like “gender affirming care”. Call it what it is.

The wheels are falling off of everything in this country. The Oligarchs running the show are evil, and God will prevail as he always does.

anniefreyshow To even have to pass a law on this is sickening and pure evil. God is watching.

To be honest, such operations should be canceled altogether, they are harmful to health.

The “surgeries” are actually mutilations that affirm nothing. Theyre grotesque cosmetic perversions of the body for the purpose of denying the actual gender/sex of the person - to perpetuate a lie. It also becomes a huge impediment to the person ever recovering from mental illnss

“affirming” ? What?

It's actually gender-denying mutilation.

mrddmia Stop describing genital mutilation and sterilization of children with evil euphemisms please

mrddmia When will they pass laws about real things?

mrddmia I hope universities are putting out a whole lot more Therapists. This is going to be one fucked ip generation

NBA maybe consider relocating the all star game? MLB changed all star game location due to Atlanta requiring ID for voting

No one needs surgery to affirm their gender. No surgery can do that

That's not what was banned

GovAbbott when are you going to do something like this

GovCox showed leadership. Saving children by ignoring the outspoken predatory adults that want to project their gender fetishes onto children.

'Utah Gov. Spencer Cox on Saturday signed a bill banning gender-affirming surgery on minors who have not been diagnosed with gender dysphoria.' So, if they're diagnosed then it's ok. I feel for families going thru this.

'Small government'

Now protect Ohio’s children, GovMikeDeWine

🤮

If we can't trust a person under 21 to buy a beer, surely we can trust them with the permanent decision to cut off body parts. Too immature to vote? Too immature to mutilate yourself. Utah's decision seems obvious. Is anyone really stupid enough to oppose it?

Evil 🤡

Which 99.9% of the time doesn't happen to begin with

Good. This is progress in the war on lunacy.

katalin_pota Oh well.

A white man in the way of progress.

Those Mormon kids are screwed.

Children of that age are not mature enough.

Gender surgery for minors.

LGBTQ rights activists protest outside Gov. Cox’s officeLGBTQ rights activists staged a demonstration outside Utah Gov. Spencer Cox's office, demanding he veto a bill that restricts health care for transgender youth. Thank you Utah law makers. Respect the age of consent. Have children wait to consider sex change drugs and surgeries until they are adults. Mutilation of children is on the line!Governor Cox, if you don't sign! There is NO medical benefit to chemically and surgically block an innocent child’s body from going through puberty! Permanently and irreversibly preventing them from reaching adulthood, mutilating them in the process, and destroying any chance for them to have a normal future.

Sad looking group. Looks like the pool of radicalized liberals is shrinking. Eventually it will dry up completely as liberals find some new bit of lunacy to embrace.
