GOP bill bans transgender treatment for minors, threatens fines, prison for doctors who don’t comply

Dozens of House and Senate Republicans are backing bills to ban transgender medical treatments for minors, and to ban federal funding for this treatment.

"Across the country, vulnerable children are being exposed to radical gender transition ideology and pressured into going through invasive and irreversible medical procedures," LaMalfa said this week. "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 as a child." Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.

"Enough is enough," said Marshall. "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."
