Idaho Gov. Brad Little has signed into law a bill that makes it a crime for doctors to provide children with “gender-affirming” surgeries or medications, including puberty blockers.
Under the new law, dubbed the “Vulnerable Child Protection Act,” health professionals could be charged with a felony and punished with up to 10 years in prison if they knowingly perform surgeries or provide medications to a child in order to help “affirm the child’s perception of the child’s sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child’s biological sex.”
