Yesterday, West Virginia joined 22 other states that fully protect children from all three components of pediatric medical transition: puberty blockers, hormones and surgery. Governor Patrick Morrisey signed SB 299 into law ending a loophole that allowed doctors to prescribe puberty blockers and hormones based on a finding of "severe gender dysphoria," which was impossible to diagnose.
Testimony from
@Jamie Reed Whistleblower and
@npub1f27w...f698 made this possible. After hearing their testimony, one Senator stated "If we had heard from two years ago, I don't think we would have voted for the exception."
Thank you Jamie and Simon!
