Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has reintroduced her landmark legislation, the Protect Children’s Innocence Act which would criminalize genital mutilation, chemical castration, and all sex-change procedures performed on children.
The legislation aims to criminalize genital mutilation and chemical castration of minor children by making it a felony to provide puberty blockers, hormones, or surgical sex change operations for minors. Those who violate the law could be subject to a federal prison sentence of 10 years or a significant fine.
Specifically, the legislation:
- Criminalizes any attempt to perform or facilitate genital or bodily mutilation or chemical castration on a minor, with up to 10 years in federal prison and/or a significant fine.
- Bans all puberty blockers and cross-sex hormone treatments for children.
- Provides no exemption for mental health disorders as justification for these procedures.
- Defines “chemical castration” and “genital or bodily mutilation” with detailed legal clarity.
- Exempts children born with certain rare genetic conditions, or who are experiencing medical emergencies as certified by a physician.
The bill was previously introduced in the Senate by Vice President JD Vance.
“The Protect Children’s Innocence Act strengthens and codifies President Donald J. Trump’s executive order banning gender transition procedures for minors,” Greene’s office said in a press release. “Together, this legislation and the President’s action send a clear message: the federal government will no longer tolerate the abuse and exploitation of children by the radical gender ideology of the Left.”
Greene first introduced the bill in 2022.
“Left-wing activists and medical institutions are targeting America’s children with dangerous drugs, disfiguring surgeries, and permanent sterilization,” said Greene. “My bill stops the mutilation of kids and holds those responsible for performing or facilitating these barbaric procedures accountable.”
Organizations supporting the bill include American Principles Project, Citizens for Renewing America, CPAC, Gays Against Groomers, Independent Women, and Moms for Liberty.
