Hawley’s bill would enable individuals to sue the pediatric gender clinics and doctors who gave them cross-sex hormones or performed transgender surgery on them as minors. The legislation comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order blocking federal funding for any hospital that performs such procedures. …

Hawley’s legislation, known as the “Protecting Our Kids from Child Abuse Act,” would allow lawsuits “against pediatric gender clinics and other entities pushing gender-transition procedures that cause bodily injury to children or harm the mental health of children.” …

Entities that could be held liable include pediatric gender clinics, doctors, and universities that house or operate gender clinics.

A lawsuit could be brought up to 30 years after the harmed individual turned 18, and the person could be entitled to both punitive and compensatory damages. The bill would also ban federal funding from going toward pediatric gender clinics, universities that operate pediatric gender clinics, and any gender procedure on a minor. …
