Mississippi bans gender-affirming health care for trans minors

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) on Tuesday gave final approval to legislation that bars medical professionals from providing gender-affirming health care to transgender minors.

The state’s Regulate Experimental Adolescent Procedures (REAP) Act, effective immediately, prohibits individuals in Mississippi from knowingly engaging in conduct that “aids or abets” the provision of gender-affirming medical care to a minor.

Penalties for violating the law, however, apply only to health care providers, who face having their medical or professional licenses revoked if they are found to have performed gender-affirming surgeries or prescribed medications including puberty blockers and hormones to a minor.

Mississippi bans gender-affirming health care for trans minors

Great news from the State of Mississippi. The very dangerous and pervasive transgender ideology lost one more battle and for once more common sense, rational thinking, and sanity, have all prevailed.

It will no longer be possible to persuade children they were born in the wrong body, and surgery that will result in the mutilation of their sex organs, will offer them a happy and productive life.

Biological sex cannot be changed and it entirely depends on the chromosomal make up of an individual. It's actually the presence or absence of the Y chromosome that determines the sex of a human being. Something that doesn't sit well with the LGBT community, the transgender ideologists, some left wing activists, and the woke crowd. In principle, biology and science and at odds with this pseudo-philosophy.


The Governor also said

There is a dangerous movement spreading across America today. It’s advancing under the guise of a false ideology and pseudo-science is being pushed on to our children through radical activists, social media and online influencers,” Reeves said Tuesday during a signing ceremony, referring to “rapid onset gender dysphoria,” a debunked theory that claims young people identify as transgender due to “social contagion.”

“This dangerous movement attempts to convince these children that they’re just a surgery away from happiness,” Reeves said.

The governor later accused medical professionals and LGBTQ activists of twisting scientific studies and reporting findings out of context.

“So today, let me be clear in a world that’s upside down, when it comes to doing right by our kids, Mississippi will once again fight to keep our state right side up,” Reeves said

Congratulations to the members of the legislature who have voted in favour of the bill that has now become a law and for the Governor who signed into law the bill. Sanity has been restored.

It worths the effort to mention that the Governor in the press conference thought it would be a good idea to call Matt Walsh to talk for a few minutes who has been very vocal and very active against the transgender ideology. And this has paid off in the State of Tennessee that it has also banned gender-affirming surgeries for minors.

I am a very tolerant person, but I applaud this 100000000%.

I actually think any physical alteration should not be allowed until after age 26 or when the true adult brain has formed.
With that change, I do think as a society, if a person transitions after that age, we should 100% accept them as that changed gender.

I think this is fair middle ground. Of course, it won’t happen…

Maybe that physical alteration should include not just gender reassignment
But no tattoos, elective cosmetic surgery, for youth too.

Great news. And any parent who knowingly sets their child(ren) up for failure by telling them it's ok to "swap genders" should be arrested and sentenced to hard labor.

The government should not be between drs and patients.
Period.

a reply to: JAGStorm

By political parties pushing and supporting minors to transition is only serving one purpose, to keep us divided. They love to go to extremes because nothing divides us faster. We're nothing more than simple lab rats to .gov, that's why we still have political American prisoners right here inside America. Noncompliant lab rats (people like us) are the ones .gov wants to lock away.

I disagree. If allowed the medical community would be giving 10 year olds viagra!
There has to be some sort of checks and balances. Unfortunately the medical community can no longer be trusted. BTW this started long before Covid era. Also unfortunately right now all we have is the government because some parents are too foolish to understand the consequences of some of these actions.

I at one time thought it was OK for younger folks to get this surgery. I read a lot about it and the percentage that highly highly regret it, is staggering. Some even said they were all but coaxed into getting it.
I'll try to find one of the heartwrenching videos.



Some things not talked about

Percentage of these youth that will Detransition
Percentage of reassigned that will require LIFE long medication
Percentage of reassigned that were coaxed or really just going through a phase
Percentage of reassigned that actually have a mental health condition

It's nothing more than rational thinking and common sense. Imagine that we have to go all the way to legislate the obvious. That's the greatest problem here where logic and is abused and violated constantly by whatever ideologies and political groups.

Unfortunately the medical community can no longer be trusted.

No thanks

Also the minors don’t get to do this without their parents/guardians signing off.

Government in between doctors and patients is wrong.
Period

I think you have missed some important parts here that you have completely disregarded. Healthy children are NOT patients. And child mutilations NOT gender affirming surgeries.

a reply to: JAGStorm

All anyone needs to do is watch "I Am Jazz." Poor thing is having such a hard time because Mommy wanted him to be a girl. Sad indeed.

a reply to: Asmodeus3
No
Nothing missed

The government DOES NOT BELONG BETWEEN A DR AND PATIENT EVER.

not when your morals are offended
not when you disagree with the doctors assessment

I think there is still some confusion here. Healthy children are NOT patients. And child mutilations NOT gender affirming surgeries.

Children being coerced into swapping sexes is wrong period and there absolutely no science backing it up. I will defend that statement with my life even if the grammar isn't spot on! Don't fck with my kids and if you don't have kids you really have no business in this conversation.

a reply to: Asmodeus3
I never said they were

I posted that the government has no place between a doctor and a patient.
Period

It's not relevant in this case as the State has a legal obligation to protect children and vulnerable people from exploitation and harm.

One comment here. You cannot swap sexes. This is a science fiction claim propagated by the transgender industry that makes quite a lot of money from these surgeries.
