Arkansas became the first state to pass legislation that banned doctors from performing any transgender surgery or experimentation on children. The first of about two dozen different transgender bills that are seeking passage in state legislatures across the country.
The bill, titled the Save Adolescents From Experimentation Act (SAFE) Act, would ban any and all healthcare related to transgender therapy or surgeries on children.
The bill states:
(a) A physician or other healthcare professional shall not provide gender transition procedures to any individual under eighteen (18) years of age.
(b) A physician, or other healthcare professional shall not refer any individual under eighteen (18) years of age to any healthcare professional for gender transition procedures.
The bill will also defund transgender therapies and surgeries for minors as well:
(a) Public funds shall not be directly or indirectly used, granted, paid, or distributed to any entity, organization, or individual that provides gender transition procedures to an individual under eighteen (18) years of age.
(b) Healthcare services furnished in the following situations shall not include gender transition procedures to an individual under eighteen (18) years of age.
This comes on the heels of multiple studies gaining traction showing transgender therapies fail to change someone's biological sex. Three studies collectively proved that estrogen therapy failed to lower mens' testosterone to womens' levels in 75% of cases, and, once therapy stops, testosterone levels return to normal, signifying no change to the body.
Additionally, women who took testosterone therapy to become men could still get pregnant and, once pregnant had the urge to breastfeed their child, even when breasts were removed. Further, once testosterone therapy stopped, the women's hormonal balance returned and no biological changes were made.
Arkansas is making the right call. Transgender therapies are not a solution, and many of them aren't even medically viable toward their goal.
