The ban is one of several anti-LGBTQ bills passed by the Kansas Legislature. It would allow for civil suits against doctors who provided gender-affirming care — which is widely supported by U.S. medical associations — for those under age 18. It would also revoke the licenses of physicians who offered such care, starting in July 2023.
TOPEKA — The Legislature voted to effectively ban gender-affirming care for Kansans under the age of 18 and revoke the license of physicians who offered such care, comparing gender identity issues to smoking.
The bill was heard and passed 70-52 in the House and 23-12 in the Senate during early Friday morning hours, following the Legislature’s decision to suspend protocol and work through the night.

Lawmakers who had worked since 9 or 10 a.m. the previous day struggled with exhaustion, with several lawmakers questioning why the bill had to be discussed for the first time and decided upon at 2 a.m. in the morning without public input.
Rep. Lindsay Vaughn, an Overland Park Democrat, said she was against the bill for many reasons, including a lack of transparency.
“I’m angry and frustrated that we are debating a bill of this significant of a nature that we have never heard in this chamber, that has never been debated in a house committee, at the eleventh hour metaphorically— what is actually 1:27 a.m. the day after we should’ve already adjourned,” Vaughn said. “We are debating yet again taking away the rights of trans kids in Kansas.”...

I believe this is a good bill. Sweden quit Trans gender treatments for youth because they found most of the children suffering gender dysphoria were suffering from mental issues. Kids can’t sign a contract, get a tattoo, and you have to be at least 17 to join the military..
