Senator J. D. Vance (R-Ohio) has introduced a bill seeking to end transgender procedures on minors, insisting it is necessary to save children in the country from “a lifetime of suffering.”

The bill (pdf), “Protect Children’s Innocence Act,” seeks to ban the genital mutilation, castration, and sterilization of children by categorizing “gender-affirming care” on minors as a Class C felony.
