Sen. JD Vance & Marjorie Taylor Greene are trying to ban gender-affirming care at federal level [View all]

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) has filed a bill in the Senate that would ban gender-affirming care for transgender minors at the federal level, making following the standard of care supported by major medical organizations a Class C felony.

In a press release supporting his bill – which is a companion bill to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) Protect Children’s Innocence Act that she filed in the House – Vance spread misinformation about gender-affirming care, calling such care “these gruesome, irreversible operations on underage children.”

...“With this legislation, we have an opportunity to save countless young Americans from a lifetime of suffering and regret,” Vance said in the statement. “I want to thank Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene for leading on this issue, and I look forward to working with my Senate colleagues to protect children from these life-altering procedures.”
