Sex- change treatments for children, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries, are now criminalized by the Alabama Legislature. The bill would make castration of children and other sex- change treatments a Class C felony. Medical practitioners can be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison for such crimes. Drugs that stop healthy puberty, cross-sex hormones, castration, and hysterectomies are just some of the treatments that would be banned under the legislation. BREAKING: SB 184 passes with a 66-28-1 vote. This legislation bans gender-affirming care for transgender youth aged 18 and under. It also requires school administrators to forcibly out trans students. It will now go to Governor Kay Ivey for a signature. If signed, we will sue. pic.twitter.com/ObZoW2oCfx
There are exceptions to the Alabama bill for male circumcision and sex disorders. The bill makes it illegal for teachers and other school employees to encourage children to not tell their parents about their gender confusion.
The Alabama legislation was calledshameful by an attorney from the American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama.
Alabama is the first state to attempt to explicitly ban sex- change procedures for children.
It's not clear if Ivey will sign the bill. The governor's office did not respond immediately to the foundation's request.
