The Republican congresswoman called the bill 'deeply flawed,' arguing that it did not go far enough to protect children from irreversible gender reassignment.
In, Greene described the language of SB 140 as"vague," said it does not address puberty blockers and provides that doctors can perform gender reassignment surgery on children if deemed"medically necessary." She called this a"dangerous loophole."
The Republican congresswoman's statement goes against the grain of GOP attempts in many states across the U.S. to push. Proponents argue that they are doing so over concerns minors are being harmed by gender-affirming procedures, while opponents say they are limiting transgender rights. The bill would outlaw hormone replacement therapy—which alters certain physical traits to appear more aligned with the person's gender identity—as well as banning gender reassignment surgery, which medical organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics believe limits the number of suicides among children with gender dysphoria.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks during the annual Conservative Political Action Conference at the Gaylord National Resort Hotel And Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland on March 3, 2023. The congresswoman has spoken out against her own state's anti-trans bill.
While I support efforts in the Georgia legislature to end the horrific practice of genital mutilation of children proclaimed by the left as “gender affirming care,” the current bill, SB 140, is deeply flawed and could have many unintended consequences.
