A GOP senator plans to introduce legislation prohibiting gender transition treatment for minors.
On Wednesday, a bill is expected to be introduced by Roger Marshall from Kansas.
Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., a former medical doctor, is set to propose legislation prohibiting gender-related medical treatments on minors and imposing penalties on professionals who carry out such procedures, according to Planet Chronicle Digital's exclusive report.
"The Left's transgender agenda was rejected by Americans, and it should be called child abuse, according to Marshall," said Marshall.
On Wednesday, Marshall will present a bill on Capitol Hill that aims to put an end to the practice of doctors and activists profiting from the mutilation, sterilization, and castration of children.
The STOP Act, if passed, would require Health and Human Services (HHS) to impose a civil penalty of at least $100,000 on those who provide transgender mutilation services and treatments to minors. Currently, HHS is led by Secretary Xavier Becerra under President Biden. However, he will be succeeded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January.
The Republican senator's bill aims to support individuals who have decided to halt their gender transition process, commonly known as detransitioners.
Trump suggested that he would seek to reduce "gender-affirming" care for minors, and Marshall signaled that he would collaborate with him on this issue.
"Our legislation prioritizes children's safety by prohibiting anyone from performing, facilitating, or conspiring to give irreversible therapies and procedures to minors," Marshall stated. "This bill marks the beginning of what's to come with President Trump leading the charge and our unwavering commitment to safeguarding children from transgender activists' harmful and criminal agenda."
In opposition to the ban on puberty blockers for minors in Tennessee, lawmakers have spoken out in favor of hormone replacement therapy and laser hair removal for minors.
In September, 164 lawmakers, including 11 senators and 153 representatives in the House, filed an amicus brief in support of transgender youth against the ban.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments about the law and determine whether to maintain the ban.
