#651 — Tennessee lawmakers OK bill criminalizing adults who help minors receive gender-affirming care

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee’s GOP-controlled Statehouse on Thursday 
gave their final approval to legislation criminalizing adults who help 
minors receive gender-affirming care without parental consent, clearing 
the way for the first-in-the-nation proposal to be sent to Gov. Bill Lee’s 
desk for his signature.

The bill mirrors almost the same language from a so-called “anti-abortion 
trafficking” proposal Tennessee Republican lawmakers approved just a day 
prior. In that version, supporters are hoping to stop adults from helping 
young people obtain abortions without permission from their parents or 
guardians.

Lee, a Republican, hasn’t publicly commented on either bill but supporters 
are confident the governor will sign them into law. Lee eagerly approved 
both the state’s sweeping abortion ban and the state’s ban on gender-
affirming care for children. He has also never issued a veto during his 
time as governor.

While the Republican supermajority touted the proposed statutes necessary 
to protect parental rights, critics warned about the possible broad 
application. Violations could range from talking to an adolescent about a 
website on where to find care to helping that young person travel to 
another state with looser restrictions on gender-affirming care services.

According to the Human Rights Campaign, Tennessee has enacted more anti-
LGBTQ+ laws more than any other state since 2015, identifying more than 20 
bills that advanced out of the Legislature over the past few months.

This includes sending Gov. Lee a bill to ban spending state money on 
hormone therapy or sex reassignment procedures for inmates — though it 
would not apply to state inmates currently receiving hormone therapy — and 
requiring public school employees to out transgender students to their 
parents.

Tennessee Republicans also passed a measure that would allow LGBTQ+ foster 
children to be placed with families that hold anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs. Lee 
signed the bill into law earlier this month.

“Tennessee lawmakers are on the verge of enacting more than twice as many 
anti-LGBTQ+ laws as any other state, a staggering assault on their own 
constituents,” Human Rights Campaign Senior Director of Legal Policy 
Cathryn Oakley said in a statement.

After seeing what the procedure has done to rightists like Trump and Bannon, 
who wouldn't want to ban it?

Some say Tennessee lawmakers want the children to themselves so they can sell 
them.   Check with Matt Gaetz about details.
