Kansas GOP Sen. Roger Marshall on Wednesday introduced legislation that would prohibit doctors from performing transgender procedures on minors nationwide.

The legislation, titled the “Safeguarding The Overall Protection of Minors Act,” bans doctors from giving minors puberty blockers or performing certain medical procedures on them, such as gender-reassignment surgeries. 

Marshall has been a major supporter of limiting medical procedures and treatments for children who identify with a gender that does not match their biological sex.  He has also pushed back on transgender ideology by introducing a bill to define “male” and “female” via biology. 

The topic has resurfaced in the capital after South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a legislation banning transgender women from using the same bathroom as biological women on Capitol Hill. 

The first transgender member of Congress was also elected to the House last month. 

“Americans resoundingly rejected the Left’s dangerous transgender agenda. Let’s call it exactly what it is: child abuse,” Marshall said in a statement. “The days of demented doctors and activists getting rich off of mutilating, sterilizing, and castrating children are over. Our legislation keeps children’s safety paramount by prohibiting anyone from performing, facilitating, or even conspiring to give these irreversible therapies and procedures to minors.”

Doctors that defy the legislation, if it is passed, could face a $100,000 fine. Those fines would then be used to create a grant that supports, encourages, and assists individuals that are trying to de-transition, the bill reads.

“This bill is just the beginning of what’s to come with [President-elect Donald Trump] at the helm and our unwavering commitment to protecting children from transgender activists’ twisted and criminal agenda,” Marshall said.
