JACKSON (LifeSiteNews) – Mississippi will soon become the latest state to prohibit life-altering surgical and chemical procedures intended to alter a minor’s gender, with Republican Gov. Tate Reeves confirming he will sign HB 1125.

The legislation, which cleared its last hurdles in the state legislature this week, prohibits “knowingly provid[ing] gender transition procedures to any person under eighteen (18) years of age” and the use of public funding and/or resources for the same, punishable by loss of one’s medical license in the Magnolia State.

HB 1125 passed the state Senate 33-15 and the state House 78-30, the Associated Press reports.

Reeves affirmed Tuesday that he “look[s] forward to getting the bill” to sign, declaring that “[s]terilizing and castrating children in the name of new gender ideology is wrong.”

Sterilizing and castrating children in the name of new gender ideology is wrong. That plain truth is somehow controversial in today’s world.
