It would ban sex reassignment surgeries, hormone replacement therapies, and any other surgical procedure done "for the purpose of altering primary or secondary sexual characteristics." > However, as written, the bill would allow doctors in the state to prescribe puberty blockers, something banned by other Republican-held state legislatures.
