Performing trans surgery on children, as well as prescribing a child with puberty blockers, is now a felony offence in the state of Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has signed into law measures forbidding the use of medical transgender interventions on children, with it now being a felony offence in the state to perform trans surgery on a child or prescribe them puberty blockers.
The move has prompted outrage from U.S. progressives, with a number of non-profit organisations vowing to take the state to court over the law change.
According to a report by Fox News, Stitt signed SB 613 into law on Monday, with the newly enacted bill rendering the provision of puberty blockers to children under the age of 18 a felony.
Conducting trans surgery on children or providing them with drugs that suppress or delay normal puberty is also made an offence by the bill.
Medical professionals who contravene the newly enacted legislation will reportedly be running the risk of having their medical licence revoked, and will also open themselves up to lawsuits from parents and legal guardians.
Speaking on the passing of the bill, Governor Stitt said he viewed the law as fulfilling an earlier commitment he made to stamp out medical transgenderism in the state.
“Last year, I called for a statewide ban on all irreversible gender transition surgeries and hormone therapies on minors so I am thrilled to sign this into law today and protect our kids,” the Republican state leader remarked.
“We cannot turn a blind eye to what’s happening across our nation, and as governor, I am proud to stand up for what’s right and ban life-altering transition surgeries on children in the state of Oklahoma,” he went on to say.

I am waiting for the lawsuits after the trans kiddies get older and change their minds.
I’m proud of those states banning those so called procedures on children! Too bad the rest of the country can’t follow suit.
It’s already began. Google Chloe Cole.
A number of states have passed similar laws.
The Biden Administration Justice Department has joined a lawsuit against the state of Tennessee over similar legislation in that state.
They apparently will try to make the case in court that there is some federal civil right to have these procedures performed.
Same here.
She’s a former transgender, from what I hear.
the lawsuits have already started...
Yes I’ve already posted about her
The left will wail and moan, and scream at the moon because they can’t slice and dice schmeckels and tits. This proves that the left is insane and should never be given power over anybody.
First it was killing babies now it’s dicing up children.
I just can’t believe what I’m seeing.
Way to lead OK
Good start. I can only imagine this will go to the Supreme Court of the nation.
You might think it would be illegal on general principles (atrocious assault, mayhem, etc) but sometimes the evil one makes it necessary to get specific.
