GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene files legislation that would make it a felony to provide gender-affirming medical care to minors

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday introduced a bill that would make it a felony to offer gender-affirming medical care to transgender youth under 18 years of age.

The “Protect Children’s Innocence Act” would bar numerous medical procedures that are utilized to treat gender dysphoria in transgender minors, including puberty blockers and particular surgeries that allow individuals to alter their body “to correspond to a sex that differs from their biological sex.”
