Woods continued to say that the reason that HB 92 hasn't been introduced in committee was for fear of potential push back. That may be true as then Lt.

HB 92 would require a state medical association committee to levy fines against doctors who prescribe puberty blockers to minors.
Improving access to gender-affirming care is an important means of improving health outcomes for the transgender population. Receipt of gender-affirming care has been linked to dramatically reduced rates of suicide attempts, decreased rates of depression and anxiety, decreased substance use, improved HIV medication adherence and reduced rates of harmful self-prescribed hormone use.The AMA does not approve of surgical operations until the patient has reached the age of consent.

Utah Log cabin Republican president Ryan Woods offered images of a recent pride event to validate his standing.
Woods represents a far-right cult of radical >trump sycophant extremists known as "Log Cabin Republicans". They may be gay, but they are not one of us.
Looks like Mississippi’s anti-trans sports bill passed the Senate yesterday- SB 2536. I wish I was exaggerating when I said this year is filled with the most relentless legislative attacks on trans lives that I have ever seen.
