Mississippi Senate passes ban on transgender surgeries for minors
Fox News
The Mississippi Senate has passed a ban on transgender healthcare for anyone younger than 18. Republican Gov. Tate Reeves has indicated he will sign it into law.
Nationally, conservatives are pushing dozens of proposals in statehouses to restrict transgender athletes, gender-affirming care and drag shows. The Republican governor of Utah recently signed a ban on gender-affirming care into law, and judges have temporarily blocked similar laws in Arkansas and Alabama.
The vote in the Mississippi Senate came less than a week after transgender teenagers, their families and others who support them protested against the bill.
