RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers finalized legislation on Wednesday that would prohibit certain gender-affirming care for children and prevent state funds from being used to provide such therapies and procedures.

The House voted 67-46 to accept a version of the measure approved by the Senate on Tuesday. The legislation would bar any medical professional from providing hormone therapy, puberty blockers and surgical gender transition procedures to anyone under 18, with some medical exceptions.

Young people who begin treatment before Aug. 1 could continue receiving such care if it’s considered medically necessary and their parents consent.


The bill, written by Republicans, now heads to Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, whose veto is likely. Cooper has expressed opposition to bills that target trans youth. The GOP holds narrow veto-proof majorities in both chambers.

“You’re saying to them, ‘you don’t matter. We don’t value you. We don’t care about you because you don’t need medical treatment. You don’t need anything because you’re not human,’” said Rep. Allison Dahle, a Wake County Democrat.

1. And like today a judge will overturn this law like in Kentucky and Tennesse.

How is this affecting citizens everyday lives?

2. So, they plan to torture kids under the rule of law. The GOP is really comprised of

gross creatures and perverts, always interested in genitals and private lives. And they think they know more than medical professionals and tons of research. I guess next time when someone needs a major operation, the GOP will tell the medical staff how to do it. The GOP is so damn ignorant words pale to describe that terrorist operation.
