Republican lawmakers have introduced a new bill that would block Medicaid from paying for

gender transition drugs and surgeries for minors. U.S. Reps. Dan Crenshaw and Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced the bill. Specifically, the Do No Harm in Medicaid Act would change the Social Security Act to include gender transition procedures as a prohibited activity, including hormones, surgeries and puberty blockers. The legislation comes as President Donald Trump declared that it is the official policy that there are two sexes: male and female.
