Kentucky House Passes Bill Banning Child Sex Change Attempts

Meanwhile, bill sponsor Rep. Jennifer Decker explained that the legislation intends to protect children from irreversible damage. Decker stated, “It is only when children are subjected to medicalization, hormones and life-altering surgery, that their mental health worsens,” also going on to add, “It is not good to start with. It worsens with these procedures.”

A pro-transgender organization called the Human Rights Campaign condemned the proposed legislation, with Cathryn Oakley, HRC’s State Legislative Director and Senior Counsel,“Denying transgender and non-binary youth access to best-practice care is dangerous, spiteful, and just another example of Kentucky legislators abusing their authority to achieve their own political goals, Gov. Bill Lee recently signed two laws intended to defend children from transgenderism and gender ideology.

The legislation will authorize the attorney general to investigate healthcare providers who violate the ban, who could be fined up to $25,000.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Kentucky. I'll take that small seed of common sense, hoping for many more!

Any doctor willing to perform this surgery should lose their license to practice. Hey AMA, where the hell are you?

Hopefully WV is next. Sen_JoeManchin

Will other states follow this precedent? I know Tennessee passed very similar legislation.
