Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said that she has struck a deal with House Republican leadership to get the chamber to vote on her bill that would ban transgender health care for trans youth nationwide and make getting such care harder for trans adults.Posting on X, Greene said that House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) promised that her so-called Protect Childrens Innocence Act would come up for a vote if she voted for the NDAA, a large appropriations bill that funds the military. Several other far-right Republicans, like Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), voted against the NDAA because it didnt contain certain policy measures they wanted.

The Senate is expected to approve it soon.Greene has already announced her resignation from the House and has said her last day in Congress will be in early January, which may be why she was told the vote would happen this month.The LGBTQ+ organization HRC denounced her anti-trans legislation.Politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene and her enablers, who are breathlessly obsessed with using their power to terrorize transgender people, believe they know better than parents and doctors, said HRC President Kelley Robinson in a statement. Now, anti-equality members of the House may consider a bill to put doctors in prison just for doing their jobs. That could mean a pediatrician facing jail time for providing the care they were trained to provide. It could mean a parent being handcuffed and tossed into a police car because they went to the pharmacy and administered their childs medication as prescribed. Our leaders should be working out a solution to the impending crisis of soaring health care costs and ensuring every child has access to quality health care not dreaming up new ways to use the power of government to tear peoples lives apart. We will not rest until this bill is defeated.Earlier this week, Greene complained that the House leadership didnt take women seriously because no vote was scheduled for her bill, which does nothing to protect womens rights.The bill, which Greene has been trying to push through Congress for several years, would ban transgender youth from accessing gender-affirming care and make it harder for trans adults to get such care by banning government insurance programs from paying for it and banning medical schools from teaching about it. Despite Greenes characterization of the bill in various media appearances, gender-affirming care for minors almost never involves surgery and instead involves allowing younger kids to play with the toys they like and wear the clothes they like, as well as use the correct name andpronounsfor the child. For older teens, it involves reversible puberty blockers and hormone therapy, which have beenshown to reduce lifelong suicide riskfor transgender people and are supported by major medical associations in the U.S., including the American Medical Association, the Endocrine Society, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.Last year,Greene lied during testimonyin the House when she claimed that there are many young people that made the tragic mistakes of having mastectomies, having castrations done to them, having genital mutilation surgeries when they were still in their early, uh, teens, um, maybe even before they were teenagers.
