North Carolina House advances legislation banning gender surgeries for minors
Fox News
A North Carolina House committee has approved a measure that prohibits health care providers from performing gender surgeries on minors.
While doctors sometimes provide medications for puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones to young patients who are experiencing gender dysphoria, they rarely perform irreversible procedures such as genital surgery or mastectomies on minors.
The bill, which was filed last month but not taken up by the chamber until two days before a parliamentary deadline, also bans using state funds to support gender transition procedures that are surgical for people younger than 18. It's among a flood of bills the General Assembly is fast-tracking this week with little to no time for public comment. Bills that are unrelated to taxes, spending or elections that haven’t passed one chamber by Thursday are unlikely to be considered for the rest of the biennial session.
