• Oklahoma Republican Rep. Jim Olsen has filed a bill aiming to ban gender-affirming healthcare providers from attempting to perform sex changes on anyone under 21 years of age.
• House Bill 1011 seeks to prevent doctors from providing experimental puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and so-called gender-affirming surgeries such as bilateral mastectomies, hysterectomies, and genital surgeries to gender-confused young people who are still in a stage of identity development.
• “It’s irresponsible for anybody in health care to provide or recommend life-altering surgeries that may later be regretted,” Olsen said in a press release.
