An Indiana bill banning medical transition procedures for the state’s transgender youth is just one step away from becoming law after the House of Representatives voted to pass it on Thursday.

Young children seeking a gender transition typically do not receive any kind of medical intervention. Some transgender adolescents receive puberty blockers, which halt the development of the secondary sex characteristics associated with their biological sex, and hormone replacement therapy, which allows them to develop in a way that matches their gender identity. Genital surgeries as a part of gender-affirming care are typically only performed on adults.

“I have the utmost compassion for these vulnerable children,” King, R-Middlebury, told the House. “That is why I believe there’s a pressing need to protect these children from irreversible harmful life-altering procedures.”
