Governor Signs Bill Banning Gender Reassignment Surgery for Children

 Governor Tate Reeves issued the following statement yesterday. 

 Governor Tate Reeves today signed House Bill 1125 – the Regulate Experimental Adolescent Procedures Act – which bans gender reassignment procedures for Mississippians under the age of 18.
 
“At the end of the day, there are two positions here. One tells children that they’re beautiful the way they are. That they can find happiness in their own bodies. The other tells them that they should take drugs and cut themselves up with expensive surgeries in order to find freedom from depression. I know which side I’m on. No child in Mississippi will have these drugs or surgeries pushed upon them,” said Governor Tate Reeves.
 
The legislation bans any person from knowingly providing gender transition procedures to a person under 18.
 
It also prevents public funds or tax deductions for prohibited gender transition procedures, places enforcement procedures on the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure and stops Medicaid from covering gender transition for persons under 18.

Probaly many like me though is this a problem. But apparently 2400 kids were already getting Hormone therapy in Mississippi.

Few things are more disgusting than a doctor who would mutilate a child. Some life altering decisions are difficult enough for an adult, but should never be left to the "feelings" of a child. Finally Mississippi got one right.

We wonder why there is a Brain Drain in Missippi. The Medical Science is totally against this. Doctors will leave and others will refuse to come!

Tater would do well to emulate Governors Youngkin and DeSantis in rooting out and eliminating further wokisms that exist within this state.

No matter how much you mutilate a child's body, it cannot change there "gender". I can't fathom how this insanity could have gotten this far.

In before the mental gymnastics to claim this bill is bad.

@ 9:33 AM, please clarify your statement regarding what exactly the "Medical Science" states regarding this subject. My science states a child cannot give consent to such a procedure.

Any doctor who choses to leave because of this is a quack and shouldn't have been a doctor in the first place.

"Doctors will leave and others will refuse to come!"

That's total bullshit. How many doctors do you know who practice what this law prevents? How many do you know whose medical practice relies, even in part, from such opportunistic experimentation on the bodies of children, not to mention their minds?

And if this encourages them to leave the state or discourages others from coming, those are good outcomes. Maybe they will have room in the U-Haul for your things.

You knew it was bullshit when you posted it.

--------------------
There are two sexes. There is an unlimited number of fabricated genders. Genders are imaginary. Sexes are not. Mutilation to achieve some mythical gender-status is somewhere between nonsense and insanity.

The whole idea of ruining the lives of gullible trusting children is one of the foulest evils.

Sick people pretending that gender can be changed by chemicals and a ghoul for a doctor, is only one example of the absolute insanity being pushed by our gov't.

What about children with “disorders of sex development”? Is there an exclusion for them?

10:34 So it was low hanging fruit. That does not mean it's a bad law. Parents still have a right to raise their own children. But if a parent wanted to assist their child in suicide the state would step in and stop it even though as you say "parents know what is best".

Anonymous said...

If this bill prevents lunatic non-science based doctors from horrifically physically damaging children that we deem too young to vote or drink, from parents that are trying to out woke their pals...then god Bless Tate and the State of Mississippi.

I'm typically the least conservative in my friend-group but color me pleased with this.

Let the woke brain drain move to states that agree with their ideals and conservatives can enjoy this state.

10:34 there are still government laws that "parents rights" cant trump, thank god.

I'm sure you would advocate for child labor laws to be abolished as well?

I personally do not believe it should be the governments position to tell any of us what to do with our bodies, be it a woman's right to choose, or a persons right to do whatever in the hell they want with their genitals. It is your body, your business.

Gender reassignment doesn't make any more make a woman a man , or man a woman any more than sewing ears and a tail on me would make me a dog.......but if that's what floats their boat then who am I to pass judgement......

that being said I actually do agree with making 18 years of age a requirement.....You have to be 18 to get a tattoo so I mean come on....... Children make impulsive decisions all the time and before you lop off your Weiner you need to have stewed on it for a while

Their genders can change as they go through their lives.

Obviously they are also the victims of the liberal agenda. Because clearly the Bible says "male and female he created them"

11:06 brings up a topic that affects real people. These are real people who are carrying a horrible burden and they don’t talk about it openly to save the child embarrassment. A lot of the gender thing is kooky; but some of it is legit. And these politicians are chasing points with no regard for who they hurt. Same for many posters.

@11:41

I don't care what you or anybody else does to their body but if you're a man you need to go to men's restrooms, participate in men's sports, dress in men's locker rooms and not use your futile attempt at changing your gender to compromise natural females' identities or privacy in any way.

It’s really something how full-throttle the media has gone with pushing this groomer nonsense after it became common knowledge that the most powerful men on the planet were all compromised pedophiles thanks to Jeffrey Epstein. It’s as if there is a massive push to normalize sexualizing children before all these elites get exposed in the mainstream. Because ones the Overton Window has been pushed into widespread acceptance of “child sexuality” then the herd won’t become so outraged and drag the bankers, tech leaders, pharmaceutical CEOs, politicians, and media bosses out into the streets for some old fashioned mob justice.

Governor Quisling Sundayschoolteacher, is continuing the pseudoconservative legacy of Mississippi's nominal Republicans, by victimizing a marginalized few, while working to undermine what little is actually good about Mississippi.

TRUE Conservatives are against booze, drugs, and gambling. They're FOR family farms. They're FOR the primacy of the individual over the collective. They're FOR Free Will and self-determination. They're FOR personal responsibility.

Never forget, that Mississippi's "Conservatives", during the "health crisis" of 2020, closed-down the gyms, but kept the liquor stores open. They're whores to Big Business - particularly the kinds of Big Business best at funneling "inducements" to key politicos. They did not keep gambling out of the state. They're doing their best, to extract "inducements", while throwing-open the state to deregulated Big Booze. They've been deliberately ineffective, in keeping the drug lords from moving into Mississippi.

Eliminating the state's Income Tax, will inevitably lead to inflated property taxes. Virtually everyone in Mississippi, is descended from families who lost their land, in the early Twentieth Century, because they could not pay their taxes, during the economic upheavals of that period. Part of the DESIGN of the current elimination of Income Tax, is that inevitable cyclical downturns will result in loss, by Mississippi families, of their land. The land will then be bought-up by the likes of Bill Gates (and other entities shielded, through various devices, from taxes). This will be BY DESIGN: that design implemented by Mississippi's "Conservatives".

One hopes that voters will see through this smokescreen, to see that "Conservatives" punishing of a minute minority, is just a distraction, while those "Conservatives" sell-off, to outside interests, Mississippians' hard-won patrimony

Woke - can someone provide a definition of this word please. It seems to get thrown around a lot by the alt right politicians, but no one knows what it actually refers to.

Leading medical groups have deemed such care as medically necessary. The American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics have sharply criticized the Republican-led efforts, saying the politically charged legislation is based on myths and misinformation about trans youth rather than medicine.

A survey released earlier this month by The Trevor Project found ongoing Republican attacks on trans youth are already causing harm. Among LGBTQ youth sampled in the poll, a majority, 71%, said the debates and restrictive laws have negatively affected their mental health, and 29% of trans youth said they didn’t feel safe going to the doctor or a hospital when sick or injured.

So where were all theses "trans youth" problems 40 years ago ? AND the "debates and restrictive laws" came because of Dem politicians pandering to this tiny minority of our population for their votes by including them in their DEI bullshit and trying to force them down our throats. The fact is the vast majority of our population couldn't care less what these people do as long as we don't have to be exposed to and deal with them.

The government shouldn’t have any say, but if you or child speak out or do not partake in the stupidity, the liberal idiots will call you a bigot, racist, etc if you don’t agree with their stupidity and have a mental breakdown like the injections and masks. It started out a little over 12 years ago when they said “we just want to be treated fairly” and it’s not a big deal and we gave them an inch and they took 100 miles. It went from no one needs to know about your sex life to having flags, kids drag shows, coming out day, and other inclusion crap. So let the governor shut it down and send the couple of mental cases in Mississippi to California to get fixed. There might be a bunch of bible thumping hypocrites in the South but I can agree with this.

Some commenters obviously don’t have the mental fortitude to understand, which is exactly why we have a video above about an intelligent young lady that doesn’t have any common sense whatsoever. The reason why my-choice conservatives have an issue with gender reassignment surgery, is because all of the idiots out there encouraging children to bind, change clothes, seek surgery, etc., all without parental consent. These children “know” how they were supposed to be born. I’ll concede if you can find me one person in this whole frickin country who can intelligently argue that these same children, who are mature enough to change their “gender” without parental consent, is also mature enough to purchase a firearm. Find me one. The same idiots that say these children can make these life-altering decisions also think a 30 year old isn’t mature enough to own most modern weapons. These kids are more likely to ruin their own life by changing gender than they are to ruin someone else’s life through a firearm. But since only “feelings” are important, you won’t find me a single person. I wish all the delusional idiots out there would watch Tombstone, and admit, “My hypocrisy only goes so far”…

I wish lawyer makers would educate themselves about a subject before making laws especially one that calls for some understanding of science ( yeah, biology is a science based subject as is medicine).

While deciding gender before puberty seems ill-advised to me, once onset is confirmed ( at different ages), hormonal levels can be definitive.

I would remind everyone that there are children born with testicles and ovaries. Instead of being willing to make life harder for any small group with a medical problem, you might try being grateful for your good health and pray you don't fall into a minority medical group in the future. Your "perfection" may not last forever.

I'm frankly amazed that those shouting that the "woke" people are trying to force their religious and medical treatment opinions down their throats, not only do that to others but rejoice in legislating your "feelings" however, poorly thought out.

George Washington, a true " independent" who would NOT be King) was right about two party politics being a danger to freedom. When two opposing political or religious groups, be they Democrat/Republicans, Fascist/Communist, Protestant/ Catholic, Christian/Muslim or Jewish/Muslim become so powerful that they can divide the majority of an entire society, the end result is tyranny with more than a little "collateral damage".

"False prophets" of any ilk are recognized by targeting groups and the weak among us as "threats" , by seeking wealth and power for themselves and never acknowledging but rather excusing the evil doers in their own group. The difference in targeting a policy, idea,or destructive behavior is very different.

We are in our "my way or no way" politics insuring disaster only this time, the autocratic rulers have " nukes". And, yes, both sides are trying now to "cancel" anyone who isn't a "true believer", including those of us who think both parties are off the rails and can't see any moral, decent and sane alternatives.

It's clear by many comments here that your mothers didn't ignore your two year old temper tantrums but "gave in" and continued so that some of you never learned to control your emotions and imagine any feeling you have as flawless.You are still overreacting to "not getting your way". And, you are electing those just like you.

Invoking George Washington to defend child mutilation procedures- or any other founder/leader/prophet who had some common morality about them- is just heresy.
I'd like to ask any commentor on here who is cool with this kind of procedure being performed on minors: please wear a t-shirt or badge stating such so I can know what I'm dealing with in public.
Finally, you're more likely to win the lottery than to be born with both sets of genitalia. Please stop repeating the lie that it is a common thing .

A small point you omitted is that another thing the animals listed have in common is that none of them are mammals. Mammals do not change sex. Humans are mammals, therefore humans do not change sex.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
