On Monday, Townhall<\/a> reported that Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) has signed a bill prohibiting minors from receiving \u201cgender-affirming\u201d health care, which includes hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and sex reassignment surgery. As I have stated before, what someone does after they are eighteen and out of school is not my business, but I can do my part in trying to protect children and teenagers from doing really stupid things.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A\u00a0statement<\/a> from Cox\u2019s office said that the legislation came about as many countries and states have scaled back gender-transition health care for this age group due to the lack of data surrounding its long-term effects.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we understand our words will be of little comfort to those who disagree with us, we sincerely hope that we can treat our transgender families with more love and respect as we work to better understand the science and consequences behind these procedures.<\/strong><\/p>\n

England\u2019s National Health Service, for example, warned late last year that children who believe they are transgender could be experiencing a \u201ctransient phase,\u201d which Townhall\u00a0covered<\/a>. This came after the NHS announced it would shutter the country\u2019s only dedicated gender clinic for children.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bill\u2019s sponsor, state Sen. Michael Kennedy, a Republican, is a family physician. In a meeting with the state\u2019s Health and Human Services Committee, he said that gender-transition care for this age group is \u201cradical and dangerous.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please follow the link to read the entire article. It tells the story of one young lady who transitioned to male beginning at age 9. She now regrets her decision and is encouraging all states to make sure people are mature enough to be thinking clearly when they make a decision to transition.<\/p>\n
