Visa Sanctions for Foreign Providers of Gender Transition Care to US Minors.
This bill mandates strict visa sanctions against foreign doctors, clinics, and associated individuals who perform or facilitate specific gender transition procedures (hormones, blockers, surgeries) on US citizens under the age of 18. These foreign persons will be barred from entering the United States, and any existing visas will be immediately revoked. The legislation aims to prevent US minors from accessing these procedures abroad by targeting the providers.
Key points
Imposes immediate visa bans and revocations for foreign individuals and institutions involved in providing defined chemical or surgical gender transition procedures to US minors (under 18).
Sanctioned procedures include the use of puberty blockers, sex hormones, and surgeries intended to alter the minor's body to no longer correspond to their biological sex.
Exceptions are made for treating verifiable disorders of sexual development (intersex conditions) and for providing 'detransition treatment'.
