The law will be applicable to all gender transition procedures performed after passage of the bill.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation has support from various organizations like the Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee, Heritage Action, the American Principles Project, and the Alliance Defending Freedom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGender-transition procedures aren\u2019t safe or appropriate for children,\u201d Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), one of the lawmakers who introduced the bill, said in the release. \u201cUnfortunately, radical doctors in the United States perform dangerous, experimental, and even sterilizing gender-transition procedures on young kids, who cannot even provide informed consent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur bill allows children who grow up to regret these procedures to sue for damages. Any doctor who performs these irresponsible procedures on kids should pay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Other Legal Measures <\/p>\n<p>Multiple states are taking measures against gender transition procedures targeting children.
