Bill Lee (R) on Tuesday signed legislation into law that bans gender-confirming treatment for transgender youth, the latest in a series of new laws in the state that Democrats and advocates have argued unfairly target trans individuals. Lee quietly signed the latest bill without issuing a public statement from his office Tuesday, according to The Associated Press. The signing occurred on the same day Lee published an announcement about a trip to Memphis to meet with Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) over federal action on infrastructure.

Tennessee Governor Signs Bill to Prohibit Gender-Confirming Treatment for Minors

Tennessee Governor Signs Bill to Prohibit Gender-Confirming Treatment for Minors Tennessee’s Republican Gov. Bill Lee on Tuesday signed legislation that prohibits gender-confirming treatment for children that want to change their gender, the latest in a chain of new laws in the state that transgender advocates have argued are discriminatory. The move makes Tennessee just the second state to enact such a ban after Arkansas approved a similar version earlier this year over a veto from Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson. Tennessee’s version, which goes into effect immediately, is slightly different. Under the new law, doctors would be prohibited from providing gender-confirming hormone treatment to prepubescent minors. Arkansas’ ban applies to anyone under the age of 18 and also specifically bans doctors from providing gender-confirming surgery.
