Laws protecting gender surgeries for children advance in Washington, Oregon over Republican objections
Fox News
Gender transition surgeries for minors are being banned in some states and much of Europe, but Washington and Oregon are passing bills to enshrine "gender-affirming" care for teenagers.
In Washington state, Senate Bill 5599 passed along party lines and is now awaiting Democratic Governor Jay Inslee’s signature. The bill’s intent is to "remove barriers to accessing temporary, licensed shelter accommodations for youth." The barrier removed was the requirement that the parents of runaway minors be contacted. Now, when transgender teens arrive at a shelter seeking "protected health services", which include gender-affirming care, parents need not be made aware, even when there is not an accusation of child abuse or neglect. Dan Springer joined Fox News Channel (FNC) in August 2001 as a Seattle-based correspondent.
