Utah Senate poised to ban transgender surgeries and puberty blockers for kids

OHIO LETS DO THIS TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The Utah Senate has voted to give initial approval to a bill to ban gender-affirming surgeries and place a moratorium on puberty blockers for minors.

People should NOT be allowed to transgender until they are 21. Parents who allow their underage CHILDREN to trans is despicable!

What do children know about the world of today to allow them to make a decision of great significance anyway? This LBDGQXYXLANOP went too far years ago!

Thank you Utah Senate. It should be considered child neglect to let minors have these surgeries and puberty blockers.

So much for the forthteen Amendment. How the state is ruling on what is permitted for one's Pursuit of happiness.

Something the people aren’t considering is that parental consent is still required for these surgeries. Utah is taking away the choice of someone who follows a set of circumstances and understands their decision. No one rushes into this without thinking about it. Screw Utah.

Good job protecting children, Utah!

Good. 99.99% of so called transgenders can change when they are adults. I recall the song The Wall, teacher leave the children alone.

😀

Yes!!!!

Thank God!

This is not an easy topic. There are valid arguments on many autofocus the issue. We make so many decisions in our lives that we wish we could have a do-over. Is this one that can really be made by someone with underdeveloped executive brain function?

Bet your Governor vetos it.

Good job! Hopefully it passes.

Awesome! This is great to see!

Letting an 8-year old (or 12, or 16) make a permanent decision about their body and health is ludicrous and reckless. If we'd have let my brother, he'd have a permanent eye patch and peg leg for life. 😂 Thank you Utah for stopping the insanity and letting kids grow up first.

I wonder if our wonderful governor will veto it?

I vote vote for children's happiness not bigoted parents' illusion of 'keeping our kids safe.' Parents, Your version of safe may lead to your kids death by suicide.

Fucking Utah.

Mutilation is child abuse. If they are too young to consent to sex they are also too young to consent gender transition.

Good. Stop experimenting with kids

You know, it may have history behind it, but every time I see that I think, “What a positively ugly building.” 🙄

Good that's just nuts what they want to do to kids.

Thank you Utah Senate! You made a decision that will might change my decision of moving out of Utah!

Excellent legislation. Let these people get mental health assistance before ruining their lives.

Let's make it so kids can drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes as well.

How about the GOVERNMENT STAY OUT OF DOCTORS OFFICES ‼️‼️‼️ And leave the care and treatment between a doctor and their patient PRIVATE‼️

What BS !! I’m tired of republicans making personal decisions for other fing people !!! You want less government but you want to tell everyone how to live their lives 😡😡

For having so many church going folks…. Utah was late to the party on accepting minorities, last to the party on gay rights and will definitely be last on supporting transgender.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Hopefully the Governor vetoes this ignorant and bigoted bill! When will the Republicans learn to mind their own business?!?!

Thank you

Yay, bigotry wins again! TheUtahWay

'gender-affirming' is already the argument, and you're throwing in with one side of it it's butchery, not affirmation

Good! We need to protect our kids!

Kudos to the Utah senate. That's a decision to make as an adult

This won’t be popular, but I agree until you reach the age of 25. The frontal part of your brain isn’t developed and you really don’t have a clue most of the time what you’re doing when you turn 25 if you still want to do this, then go ahead

Let’s see if Governor He/Him signs that.

Bill banning gender affirmation surgery on minors advances out of Utah Senate committeeA Utah Senate committee voted 5-2 to advance a bill that would ban sex characteristic surgeries on transgender youth. IMHO the minimum age ought to be 21, but really, what we're seeing (after the fact) tells us that the kids aren't snapping out of it until their late twenties. By then, of course, the damage has been done. 'Gender affirming' mutilation is exactly that: mutilation. BenWinslow Parents and doctors should be making the final decision for minors, not utpols. BenWinslow So, no more surgery on intersex babies to make them conform to a particular gender? Good. No more boob jobs on teen girls? I don't approve, but I think it's up to her and her parents. Transgender kids haven't been getting surgeries in UT, so does nothing but increase hate.
