House Republicans have advanced a bill, H.R. 3492, that would criminalize gender-affirming healthcare for minors, imposing penalties on parents and doctors. Introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and supported by over 40 Republicans, the bill is seen as part of a broader anti-trans agenda. Despite rare instances of such treatments for minors, the bill mislabels essential care as 'genital mutilation' and 'chemical castration.' It notably excludes gender dysphoria from legitimate health conditions, while inconsistently exempting some surgeries on intersex infants, raising human rights concerns.
The legislation would criminalize medical care for transgender minors, threatening legal action against parents and providers, which demonstrates a clear alignment with anti-trans agendas.
This bill advances a narrative labeling necessary medical procedures as 'genital mutilation' and 'chemical castration,' which mischaracterizes essential healthcare for transgender youth.
