PROPOSED GENDER-ALTERATION BAN FOR MINORS DRAWS HUNDREDS TO NEBRASKA CAPITOL

LINCOLN- Senator Kauth's 'Let Them Grow Act', or LB574, just like last week's cardiac-activity abortion ban, drew hundreds to the Nebraska Capitol Wednesday afternoon. Kauth told the Health and Human Services Committee that the intent of her bill was to protect kids with gender dysphoria from "irreversible, destructive, experimental" medical care until they reached adulthood.

"Once the intensity of the treatment and surgeries are complete," said Kauth to the Health and Human Services Committee, "these individuals are still dealing with issues that the surgeries have only made more complex." Opponents of the bill, of which there were many at the hearing, called Sen. Kauth's bill an "extreme intrusion" into a family's medical decisions.

However, proponents of the bill, including several people who previously received, sought, or considered gender-affirming care, argued that the care they did or would have received was irreversible, and that they couldn't make proper decisions at the time. Several testifying in support of Kauth's bill have reportedly testified on several similar bills around the country.
