Seeking to end the surgical and chemical mutilation of children, the Trump administration is supporting legislation that would prohibit doctors from doing transgender procedures on minors, and permit lawsuits against physicians and medical centers who approve of such practices.
On Wednesday, the Justice Department said that it had “transmitted a legislative proposal to Congress that protects and defends children from chemical and surgical mutilation under the guise of ‘gender-affirming care.’” According to The Daily Wire, the DOJ said it was supporting a proposal from Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Rep. Bob Onder (R-MO) that would shield children nationwide from transgender procedures.
“The Department of Justice has heard from far too many families who have been devastated by mutilative medical procedures that fly in the face of basic biology,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi. “While we continue our ongoing legal battle to protect children, we appreciate our colleagues in Congress who are working diligently alongside us to end these abusive procedures once and for all.”
Called the Victims of Chemical or Surgical Mutilation Act, the proposal would forbid doctors from performing surgeries like amputating the breasts of girls who identify as boys or genital procedures. It would also prohibit children who identify as transgender from being put on puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.
Cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers can permanently destroy fertility, stunt bone growth, and impact heart health for good.
In addition, the Act would also permit children who were put on transgender practices to bring a civil suit for “damages against any healthcare professional, physician, hospital, or clinic, who participates in the chemical or surgical mutilation of that child. This includes, but is not limited to, compensatory damages, including all economic damages associated with undoing, correcting, or ameliorating the effects or results of any chemical or surgical mutilation procedures, and noneconomic damages for emotional distress and pain and suffering.”
Also, the Act would permit kids to sue their doctors within 25 years of their 18th birthday.
