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.
