Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed a bill on Saturday that bans hormone replacement therapy and gender-affirming surgery for transgender youth, making Utah the first state in 2023 to ban such care.

Cox had not publicly signaled support or disapproval for the bill until signing it this weekend. The governor previously made headlines in 2022 for vetoing a bill that would"Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few," wrote Cox in a letter to the state's legislative leaders at the time.

"I don't understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live," he added.U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ,"Early gender affirming care is crucial to overall health and well-being" for trans and nonbinary youth,"as it allows the child or adolescent to focus on social transitions and can increase their confidence while navigating the healthcare system."

Thousands of New Yorkers took to the streets of Manhattan to participate on the Reclaim Pride Coalition's fourth annual Queer Liberation March, where no police, politicians or corporations were allowed to participate. This year, the march highlighted Trans and BIPOC Lives, Reproductive Justice, and Bodily Autonomy.

What happened to parental rights? Oh, situational ethics.

Good

I hope he signed so men can't get testosterone injections or Viagra

Wonderful !!!!

Surgery for kids....no

Utah Republicans making sure young girls can still have breast surgery tho! Those wives gotta look good, the sick bastards.

Good! We should see this in every single state so that we can protect our children from these harmful ideologies

Hard to believe we live in a world where laws against adults mutilating children are necessary.

🇺🇸Heigh-Ho, Cox has gotta go!⭐️Vote⭐️ November 5, 2024

not always and forever idle,it depends on peculiar chance

Mutilation

Later day Poop emoji

At least one governor has some sense

Well done Utah

CBS, pretends to be the best. But CBS is lacking federal agents. Please consider making a donation.

Banning such ‘care’ for the youth, will mean better protection from harmful influences before they’re old enough to understand themselves

Stop describing the genital mutilation and sterilization of children with evil euphemisms

That bill and any others like it are against the law. The patient Protection and Affordable Care Act provides protection from discrimination based on sex. That applies nationwide.

Shame

He’s a Republican if you’re watching. Hope y’all see that they don’t give a damn about your rights.

Saving the innocences of children and teens. Amazing grace God answering prayers ❤NOTH8 God Bless human race Amen 🙏

This is horrifying! What medical procedure is next? What group of people are his next targets? As a woman, I can guess....

I’m liberal as they come…and I think in this case, hormone therapy for trans kids is a decision that needs to wait until their little brains are fully developed.

Figures!! Mom's think they are God.

Gov overreach continues

It should for anyone under 18. If you cannot vote and you cannot serve, you cannot transition.

Back in the day, we couldn't get our ears pierced without parental consent.

Most Republican politicians are perverted moral sickos. Can't sugarcoat it.

That is why we have age restrictions on alcohol and tobacco, or are you against those also?

Are we still free country?

Good job Utah , don’t cave to these godless pukes

Good!

It's amazing the amount of perverts against this. You would think the FBI would take a look at all these people who want to mutilate a child! God's children are born, not toys, to be engineered! No parent is above the Lord. He is the almighty father! And ❤️s us the way we are.

So the party of “personal freedom” has once again used the power of the state to forbid parents from following the guidance of 29 professional medical associations for their children. This will result in more Trans suicides, but that is a feature to these ghouls, not a flaw.

Good. Virginia needs something like this. Trans doesn't exist. Stop lying to kids. They're mental patients who need help. Elective, cosmetic surgery isn't help, it's abuse. Their minds need help. Any doctor who deals in 'transition' should lose their medical license.

One day his kids and grandchildren will become trans and go extinct

Care? It is a mental illness. A person’s gender is affirmed by the doctor when a person is born

WAY TO GO UTAH GOD IS WATCHING

Boooo

Hormone therapy and sex changes for minors should be an obvious no go. Everyone should agree w that, it should be a bipartisan issue. Unfortunately today’s Dems have gone too far in many cases.

Great work! Keep it up let’s see more states do this

Very good, All other Governors need to learn from Spencer

Good. Now these kids won't hv early onset osteoporosis (like when they're 15) and lowered IQ.

Let's Gooooooo, Utah!!!!

Permanent surgeries and hormone treatments should not be allowed till 18 imo.

Some decisions are better left for legal adulthood

🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Republican big government is now in your pants.

So much for FREE AMERICA and less government. Just like GovRonDeSantis fake FREE FLORIDA, by signing in over 200 new laws last year alone. FakeFreedom

He's really too interested in kids' private parts and their personal feelings. Very creepy.

Get government out of parenting, government can screw up anything

It’s not “care.” Let them wait until they are adults to make permanent choices about their bodies. They can’t get tattoos either. Look up ppl who regret these mutilations.

Thank God there are still some places left in America with common sense.

Here’s hoping all states follow Utah’s lead.

😡

Good

Excellent! Anyone who thinks MINORS can make the decision to have their bodies surgically mutilated is not right in the head

No one is “transgender”. Fake word!

Utah becomes first state in 2023 to ban gender-affirming care for transgender youthsUtah has become the first state this year to ban gender-affirming health care for transgender youths, part of a wave of anti-LGBTQ legislation brewing in statehouses. If being being against the sexual mutilation of children makes you 'anti-lgbtq', then so be it. The LGB shoulda kicked the Ts to the curb when they had the chance I guess. some kids identify as pirates...so it's OK to pluck out an eye and amputate a hand and leg so they can get eye patches, hooks and peg legs? just more affirming care. We as a nation should just outlaw all transgender theology.
