BISMARCK, North Dakota (LifeSiteNews) — North Dakota has become the latest state to prohibit minors from being chemically or surgically mutilated through transgender drugs and surgeries.
House Bill 1254, signed on April 19 by Republican Governor Doug Burgum, prohibits medical professionals from performing “castration, vasectomy, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, metoidioplasty, orchiectomy, penectomy, phalloplasty, or vaginoplasty” on minors. It also prohibits a mastectomy and the administration of puberty blockers.
There are exceptions for intersex individuals and anyone who has already started one of these medical procedures. Intersex and transgender are not the same thing, as explained here by LifeSiteNews’ Jeremy Williamson.
The American Principles Project (APP) celebrated the new law.
“The transgender industry is committing medical malpractice on a massive scale. In reality, sex changes are impossible—no person can truly change their biology,” President Terry Schilling stated. “Nevertheless, for years now, ideologically captured medical practitioners have been offering dangerous, experimental drugs and procedures to vulnerable individuals in mental distress, with little to no regard for their long-term health. This misconduct has been especially egregious when it comes to children, who are far too young to comprehend the lifelong consequences of sterilizing and mutilating their bodies.”
“This growing scandal must be addressed immediately, which is why it is encouraging to see so many states now taking action, including North Dakota,” Schilling stated. “APP thanks Gov. Burgum and North Dakota lawmakers for acting to protect children from the predatory transgender industry, and we urge the remaining states without such protections to follow suit as soon as possible.”
Other states have also prohibited or limits minors from permanently sterilizing themselves or making it impossible to breastfeed in the future.
Arkansas, for example, prohibits the transgender drugs and surgeries for minors, and Governor Sarah Sanders recently signed legislation which makes it possible for gender-confused individuals to sue medical professionals for chemical and surgical mutilation. Indiana joined Tennessee, South Dakota, Iowa, and Mississippi in enacting laws this year that prohibit the use of puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, and surgeries in the name of “gender transitions” for minors, as previously reported by LifeSiteNews. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken executive action against the procedures while legislation works its way through the legislature.
No Mengelizing of children in North Dakota!
If we don’t mutilate the children, then how are we supposed to keep them from breeding?
Hope some states start to ban it across the board for everyone including adults
To all the alphabet nazis getting bent out of shape over this, I say ESAD and STFU!
I don’t know what some of those plasty procedures are.
Missouri just did
Make it a crime. Put the doctors and Hospital administrators in jail.
DO NO HARM!
Anyone else notice that the clinics doing these surgeries only offer two choices?
As long as someone is an adult-over 18-and has not been found to be incompetent by a judge, they can do whatever they like as long as it is not on the taxpayer’s dime. or injuring another person. That excludes abortion which kills another person-but a sex change only injures the idiot getting it done...
I’m pretty sure their insurance carrier will demand psychological testing, psychotherapy and a nice long waiting period before they spring for any risky hormone therapy and/or mutilating, irreversible surgery-insurance companies don’t like to pay for risky procedures like that-it is bad for their bottom line...
We always get into trouble and lose the battle to protect kids when we try to tell adults what to do with themselves, and protecting minors is 1st and foremost what we need to do-protect the minors from these disgusting, greedy people...
COVID VAXXES & BOOSTERS
“As long as someone is an adult-over 18-and has not been found to be incompetent by a judge, they can do whatever they like as long as it is not on the taxpayer’s dime.”
If I’m in the same insurance pool as one of these freaks, I’d prefer to NOT have to help pay for his surgery.
