This is the most awesome thing to come out of Idaho since the greatest movie of all time, Napoleon Dynamite.
Allow me to de-wokify this headline: If you allow kids to mutilate their bodies through sex-change surgery you could be thrown in the slammer forever.
What a good move.
Following the Texas model and simply changing the language of a law already in existence preventing female genital mutilation, the conservative house in Idaho has passed this law that would protect more children.
From The Hill:
Idaho's state House of Representatives has approved the most far-reaching bill yet to criminalize medical treatments for transgender youth, a measure that threatens anyone who facilitates that treatment โ or even helps a minor travel to another state to receive gender-affirming care โ to be sentenced to life in prison.
The measure, approved Tuesday on a mostly party-line vote, adds medical care for transgender youth to a section of Idaho law already on the books that bans female genital mutilation.
It adds language making it a felony either to perform gender-affirming surgery on transgender youth or to provide medication meant to block or delay the onset of puberty.
The existing law already makes a felony of anyone who takes a child from Idaho to another state for the purpose of female genital mutilation; the new language would add transporting someone across state lines for gender-affirming medical care to the felony list.
Idaho's statehouse has made it clear that they're going to protect children from the transgender weirdos who'd love to do them harm.
A real gem of a law from the gem state.
