MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Ninth grader Harleigh Walker, 15, spends her time after school like many girls her age: doing homework, listening to Taylor Swift, collecting records and hanging out with friends.
But this year, her spring break also included trying to persuade members of the state House and Senate to reject legislation banning gender-affirming medications for transgender kids like her under 19.
She was unsuccessful. On Thursday, Alabama lawmakers passed the measure, and Gov. Kay Ivey signed it into law on Friday, meaning Harleigh’s doctor would face prison time if she continued to prescribe her testosterone-blocking drugs.
“Honestly, I’m a little scared now,” Harleigh said Thursday after learning the bill had passed. “But we’re still going to fight, no matter what.”
She said she is holding out hope the bill will be blocked by a court.
Alabama is among multiple states with Republican-controlled legislatures that have advanced bills not only to block medical treatment but to ban transgender children from using school restrooms or playing on sports teams that don’t correspond with their sex at birth. The Alabama medication bill is one of the most far-reaching: It would put doctors in prison for up to 10 years for prescribing puberty blockers or hormonal treatment to trans kids under 19.

Shocking that the phrase ‘trans kids’ can even be uttered, let alone printed.
We are solidly in “2+2=5” territory.
I Feel bad for her– that she has bought the lie she has been sold by the groomers.
“Kids” should not be given a voice. It’s just a cold hard fact of life. But this stolen government and the corrupt teachers would have the children rule, and the parents forced to just shut up and pay for it.
“Gender-affirming” translated in English means lying to yourself about that thing between your legs.
Poor boy is a lunatic, corrupted by the Woke serving spiritual darkness.
The Democrats love their Abnormal and it must get back to Normal
These kids didn’t just decide to become trans on their own. They are targeted and groomed by members one of the most evil and destructive pseudosciences in history... experimental psychology.
Where are the parents in all this?
trans = fake, so is a “transkid” an adult posing as a child?
There are no “trans kids” These poor children are being victimized by the lgbtqmaps perverts.
Thankful that she was unsuccessful against the bill
I don’t think they know what medicine means. What disease to they have again?
Medicine-a substance or preparation used in treating disease. 2a : the science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease.
I wonder what will happen to him if he stops taking the drugs. He should never have gotten to this point.
Sure, they do. After all, our media does not lie. /s
It started with grand, utopian intentions, though.

He didn’t get the idea he was a girl by himself.
