Utah Bill That Would Protect Children From Medical Gender ‘Transition’ May Be Getting Softened to Allow Hormone Treatments
A Utah bill aimed at protecting children from being subjected to medical gender transition treatments may be getting softened to “compromise.”
The original bill was going to ban doctors from giving children under 18 years old hormone therapy, puberty blockers, or transgender surgeries.
The author of the bill, Republican Rep. Rex Shipp is working on a revised version that will allow hormone therapy and puberty blockers with “informed consent” from the child.
“That involves a psychologist working with anyone who is brought to them with this concern for a period of time. They cannot start on any puberty blockers or hormones until that period of time is satisfied,” Rep. Shipp said, according to a report from ABC 4.
