    Utah Blocks Gender-transition Treatment for Minors

    I don't have a problem with this, seeing as some of the treatments, such as puberty blockers, have shown signs of harmful side effects in things like bone density.

    I have no issue with adults making an informed decision if they'd like to switch genders, but kids who are too young to vote or marry are too young to be making decisions that will impact their lives so completely.

    Let them choose their pronouns and dress as they desire without judging them, but I think it's wise to hold off on physical treatments until they're legal adults.

    The law prohibits transgender youth in the state from receiving gender-affirming surgery and places an indefinite ban on hormone therapy, with limited exceptions.
    Mr. Cox, a Republican, said in a statement that banning these treatments was necessary until more research could be done on their long-term effects.
    “While we understand our words will be of little comfort to those who disagree with us, we sincerely hope that we can treat our transgender families with more love and respect as we work to better understand the science and consequences behind these procedures,” the governor said.

    It is odd that some people think it is a good idea to groom children this way.
