House Bill 1254, signed on April 19 by Republican Governor Doug Burgum, prohibits medical professionals from performing “castration, vasectomy, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, metoidioplasty, orchiectomy, penectomy, phalloplasty, or vaginoplasty” on minors. It also prohibits a mastectomy and the administration of puberty blockers.
There are exceptions for intersex individuals and anyone who has already started one of these medical procedures. Intersex and transgender are not the same thing, as explained here by LifeSiteNews’ Jeremy Williamson. …
Other states have also prohibited or limits minors from permanently sterilizing themselves or making it impossible to breastfeed in the future.
Arkansas, for example, prohibits the transgender drugs and surgeries for minors, and Governor Sarah Sanders recently signed legislation which makes it possible for gender-confused individuals to sue medical professionals for chemical and surgical mutilation. Indiana joined Tennessee, South Dakota, Iowa, and Mississippi in enacting laws this year that prohibit the use of puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, and surgeries in the name of “gender transitions” for minors, as previously reported by LifeSiteNews. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken executive action against the procedures while legislation works its way through the legislature.

Father, continue to raise agreement that gender treatments should be outlawed and children protected. Cover with shame those faces that are pushing this, many times for money, that the perpetrators would see you. Protect our children and help parents to see how wrong this is. May they not believe the lie that if their child isn’t allowed to be transgendered that they will commit suicide. Bless those who have detransgendered; draw them to you and give them peace.
Praise God I am praying for all states to turn around and stand for God values, and protect the children, in Jesus name amen
