Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law banning gender-affirming care for minors with the possibility of a felony charge for health care professionals who provide it.
Senate Bill 613 bars health care professionals from providing gender-affirming care to those under the age of 18 in the form of surgeries, puberty blocking medication and hormone treatments. A health care provider accused of violating the new law could face felony charges. The ban takes effect immediately under an emergency clause and leaves certain exemptions for minors currently receiving treatment.
This part of the process may also include hormone therapy that can lead to gender-affirming physical change. Surgical interventions, however, are not typically done on children and many health care providers do not offer them to minors. Some Republicans have expressed concern over long-term outcomes of the treatments.
