| Subject: | Prohibiting Pediatric Gender Transition Surgeries |
| In the near future, I plan to introduce Legislation prohibiting pediatric gender transition surgeries to protect Pennsylvania’s children from the unintended consequences of fringe progressive ideologies. These experimental medical procedures risk the health and wellbeing of our children, I can’t stand by as medical providers across the country cave to the pressures of militant leftists committed to distorting the concept of gender so that it defies the bounds of science and logic. This comes three months after the World Professional Association for Transgender Health recommended hormone treatments in children as young as 14 and surgeries – including double mastectomies, hysterectomies and testicle removal – between the ages of 15 and 17. The medical community’s rush to embrace these procedures is disturbing and compels action from lawmakers to protect gender-questioning children, not experiment upon them. I invite you to join me as a co-sponsor of this important legislation. |
