GOP lawmaker: Aiding minors' transgender surgery should be a felony

Medical professionals in Georgia could face felony charges for helping minors undergo gender transition under legislation being drafted by a GOP lawmaker in the state, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Under the legislation being proposed by State Rep. Ginny Ehrhart (R), medical professionals in Georgia could be charged with a felony for performing a number of procedures designed to help minors with gender transition, such as mastectomies, vasectomies, “castration and other forms of genital mutilization.”

Ehrhart said that the legislation, if passed, would also prohibit prescribing “puberty-blocking drugs to stop or delay normal puberty and cross-sex hormone therapy” to minors.

“The removal of otherwise healthy or non-diseased body parts from minor children would also be prohibited,” she reportedly said in a release. “We’re talking about children that can’t get a tattoo or smoke a cigar or a cigarette in the state of Georgia, but can be castrated and get sterilized."

Why would anyone vote against it? In a sane world that would be political suicide.
 
Actually, the argument against the bill would the the same 4th Amendment right to privacy (specifically medical privacy). The argument in favor of the bill is that it applies only to minors who, it could be argued, don't possess the capacity to make life-altering medical decisions.

Ultimately, if the bill is passed, it could set precedents affecting abortion rights, specifically as they apply to minors.

Fantastic point
And indeed it could

It's still batshit crazy that we need this type of law to prevent deranged women from destroying their young male children
