Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., recently introduced a bill in Congress that would outlaw trans procedures for minors and punish the doctors who perform them with civil penalties of up to $100,000.

The Safeguarding The Overall Protection of Minors Act or "STOP Act," which Marshall introduced Wednesday, will prohibit sex-change procedures from being performed on minors and authorize the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to impose civil penalties on persons who "knowingly perform, attempt to perform, conspire to perform, or provide a referral for any gender transition procedure on a minor,” according to the text of the proposed legislation.

The bill would also allow people who have been subjected to trans procedures as minors the right to sue if they come to regret their decision. It would also empower the attorney general to establish a grant program to assist those seeking to reverse the effects of such procedures.
