Mississippi bans sex change treatments for minors
Children and adolescents may not undergo hormone treatments or surgery in the state.
Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has signed in a law banning sex change treatments for minors in the state. The regulation will prohibit children and adolescents from receiving hormone treatments or undergoing surgery.
"Not now, not ever" in Mississippi
The governor later insisted on his Twitter profile on his commitment against the Woke agenda. "In a world that is upside down when it comes to doing the right thing for children, Mississippi will fight once again to keep our state right side up," he stressed.
In a press release, Reeves expressed his strong rejection of such interventions, and assured that they have no place in Mississippi "not now, not ever."
Sex change without public funding
The Regulate Experimental Adolescent Procedures Act (REAP) will not allow state funds or Medicaid to cover this type of treatment for minors. In addition, it requires the Mississippi State Medical Licensing Board to enforce the rule.
Following the signing of the rule, Mississippi joins other states such as Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, South Dakota, Florida, Tennessee, Texas and Utah in protecting minors from woke treatments.
