HB 132: PROHIBITING SEX TRANSITIONING PROCEDURES ON MINORS

URGENT ALERT!

WE NEED YOU IN COMMITTEE TOMORROW TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!  The bill that will stop unproven surgeries and hormonal treatment on minors under age 18 will be heard in committee on Tuesday, January 24th, at 2:00pm in the House Building, Room 30, in the House Health and Human services committee. HB 132, sponsored by representative Rex Shipp, will end experimental medical procedures that hurt and sterilize children. 
 
Medical doctors and mental health experts will be in the meeting to testify about the dangers of these procedures and why Utah must pass this bill to Protect our children. De-transitioner Chloe Cole will share her story about her journey through puberty blockers, cross sex hormones and a double mastectomy at age 15. 
 
We need you to be there please come and support this legislation. Let the committee members know that you expect them to protect Utah’s children by passing HB132. Please email, text and call all the Republican members of the committee and ask them to vote yes to protecting Utah’s children.
 
This bill prohibits a health care provider from performing a medical procedure on a minor for the purpose of attempted sex transitioning or attempted sex change. HB 132 PROHIBITS: 

• Hormonal transgender procedures on minors, which means cross-sex hormones, giving testosterone to biological girls who are trying to appear as boys and giving estrogen to biological boys who are trying to appear as girls 
• Performing a puberty inhibition procedure (puberty blocker) on minors. "Minor" means an individual who is less than 18 years old. 
•  "Sex characteristic-altering surgical procedure" for the purpose of effectuating or facilitating an individual's attempted sex change.  
• Any surgical procedure that is related to or necessary for a procedure that would result in the sterilization of a minor who is non-sterile; or removing any otherwise healthy or non-diseased body part or tissue.
