A Georgia lawmaker who compared transgender people to moose introduced legislation that would imprison doctors who provide gender-affirming care to trans youth.
The bill from state Rep. Ginny Ehrhart, a Republican from Marietta, is the third anti-trans proposal filed by lawmakers in February. The two others are aimed at trans athletes in schools and colleges.
Ehrhart introduced House Bill 401 – titled the Vulnerable Child Protection Act – on Feb. 10. The measure would prohibit licensed medical professionals from giving hormone treatments to or performing gender affirmation surgery on people under the age of 18 “for the purpose of attempting to affirm the minor’s perception of such minor’s sex, if that perception is inconsistent with such minor’s sex,” according to the bill.
