A group of Republican lawmakers has introduced legislation that will allow individuals to sue doctors who performed gender transition surgery on them while they were minors.

The legislation, Protecting Minors from Medical Malpractice Act, creates a private right of action for such people, allowing them to sue not only the medical practitioner but also their legal guardian for “declaratory or injunctive relief, compensatory damages, and attorney’s fees,” according to a June 23 press release by Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
