However, transgender interventions and hormone treatments for minors who are not diagnosed with gender dysphoria do not allow. This means that minors can find a sympathetic doctor who has been wrongly identified. \u201cgender-affirming care\u201d They will be referred to a specialist who will diagnose them and give them the right prescriptions for pumping their bodies with wrong-sex hormones. Diagnoses can be made for teens who have a strong interest in gender-bending. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mind-diagnostics.org\/gender-dysphoria-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, under the new Utah law, once individuals turn 18, they\u2019re free to do whatever they want. They can schedule transgender surgeries as early as their 18th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLegislation that impacts our most vulnerable youth requires careful consideration and deliberation,\u201d Cox stated that in a <a href=\"https:\/\/governor.utah.gov\/2023\/01\/28\/gov-spencer-cox-signs-education-funding-transgender-medical-bills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Press release<\/a> After his signature. \u201cMore and more experts, states and countries around the world are pausing these permanent and life-altering treatments for new patients until more and better research can help determine the long-term consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cox also thanked the legislation\u2019s sponsor, State Sen. Michael Kennedy, while giving a passing mention of the deficiencies in the new law. \u201cWhile not a perfect bill, we are grateful for Sen. Kennedy\u2019s more nuanced and thoughtful approach to this terribly divisive issue,\u201d Cox stated. <\/p>\n<p>In an ideal world, Cox would have stood with legislators a year ago as they tried to stop the transgender craze. The statehouse was forced to close its doors in March 2013. <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/25\/utah-legislature-overwhelmingly-overrides-governors-wish-that-boys-invade-girls-sports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Override <\/a>the governor\u2019s veto of legislation prohibiting men from invading women\u2019s sports. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to push the Legislature for additional resources to organizations that work to help this important Utah community,\u201d Cox stated this on Saturday. \u201cWhile 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Utah is a state that has been criticized for its deep-red reputation. However, it has continued to be a stronghold in cultural currents that force transgender ideologies on children all across the nation, regardless of their red status.
