Utah becomes the first state to ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors this year.

, during which lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union argued that such bans on care are discriminatory, using reasoning similar to Thatcher's.A crowd of protestors gathered outside the Utah Capitol on Tuesday ahead of a committee hearing on the bill, during which a number of transgender teens spoke out against it.

In addition to barring access to care for minors who don't already receive it, the legislation also requires the state’s Division of Professional Licensing to create a certification for those who provide hormone treatment to minors. The certification process requires “at least 40 hours of education related to transgender health care for minors from an approved organization,” and providers must obtain this before they can continue to provide such treatment.

The measure also allows minors to sue medical providers for malpractice for gender-affirming medical care if the minor “later disaffirms consent” before they turn 25.

Hope more states will follow

A. No one is doing surgery on minors. B. So much for letting parents be parents and letting doctors be doctors. Freedom of choice, as long as you make their choice.

Awesome 👍

It shouldn't be allowed Nationwide!!!...

Good

The surgeon general just reported that children 13 years or younger shouldn't be on social media, the Democrats think elementary school children should be able to transition their sex without parental knowledge or consent.

Great news! THANK YOU Utah FOR SHOWING SOME SANITY. 'Gov. Spencer Cox signed a bill Saturday that bars minors from receiving gender-affirming surgeries and places an indefinite moratorium on their access to puberty blockers and hormone therapy'.

Politicians should never control personal healthcare decisions.

Great!

There’s men and there’s women. BIOLOGICALLY. Enough of the mental illness.

- Utah ranks 9th in rapes per capita - Utah ranks 8th in child abuses per capita - Nearly 13% of Utahns report being molested before 18 yrs old (1/3 before their 10th bday). - 70% of sex offenses reported to law enforcements involve a minor …and their problem is trans kids? 🙄

Mormons are fucking evil

Another State not to enter

No, it is sex change operation, it neither affirms or treats anything.

GOOD!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Child molestation is a huge issue in Utah. Rape is double digits above the national average. Clergy are exempt from having to report child abuse to authorities..but..they’re focused on trans kids instead…to protect the kids. ?

From the party of “parents decide for their kids, period”.

The headline explains why “ minor”
