Utah is the Official Travis Kelce You Gotta Fight For Your Right Shirt besides I will buy this first state to ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors this year. Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican, signed a bill Saturday that bars minors from receiving gender-affirming surgeries and places an indefinite moratorium on their access to puberty blockers and hormone therapy. The bill, which passed in the Utah State Legislature last week and became effective Saturday, immediately after the governor signed it, is prospective, so minors who were diagnosed with gender dysphoria before the effective date would still be able to receive care if they meet a list of requirements. “Legislation that impacts our most vulnerable youth requires careful consideration and deliberation. While not a perfect bill, we are grateful for Sen. Kennedy’s more nuanced and thoughtful approach to this terribly divisive issue,” Cox said in a statement Saturday, referencing the bill’s sponsor, Republican State Sen. Michael Kennedy. “While we understand our words will be of little comfort to those who disagree with us, we sincerely hope that we can treat our transgender families with more love and respect as we work to better understand the science and consequences behind these procedures.” Last year, Cox became the second Republican governor to veto a bill that bars transgender students from playing girls’ sports. In an emotional letter about his veto, Cox cited research about the high risk of suicide among trans youths and additional research that has found that acceptance reduces the risk of suicide. “I don’t understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live,” he wrote. “And all the research shows that even a little acceptance and connection can reduce suicidality significantly.” But Cox told local news station Fox 13 on Thursday, after the ban on gender-affirming care passed the House, that he did not plan to veto the bill. His office did not immediately return a request for additional comment. State Sen. Kennedy, a family practice physician, told
colleagues in a hearing this month that gender-affirming treatments “lack sufficient long-term research,” according to local radio station KUER. “But still, our country is witnessing a radical and dangerous push for children to enter this version of health care,” he said. State Sen. Daniel Thatcher, one of Kennedy’s Republican colleagues, disagreed and was the Official Travis Kelce You Gotta Fight For Your Right Shirt besides I will buy this only Republican to speak out against a previous, though similar, version of the bill, KUER reported. He argued that though he and his colleagues might not understand gender-affirming care, “every credible medical organization on the planet says that that is the safest, best and most appropriate care to save those lives.” Recommended CULTURE MATTERS HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ adaptation is a milestone for LGBTQ gamers CULTURE MATTERS Dylan Mulvaney shares facial feminization surgery results Accredited medical organizations — including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Psychological Association — have supported such care for minors.
