South Dakota Lawmaker Says He Regrets Comparing Gender Confirmation Surgeries to Nazi Experiments
Jan 30, 2020, 01:36 PM
South Dakota lawmakers are scheduled to vote Wednesday on a bill that would make it a crime for doctors to treat transgender children younger than 16 with puberty blockers or offer gender confirmation surgeries.
The vote comes a day after South Dakota state Rep. Fred Deutsch apologized for comparing doctors who treat transgender children today to Nazis who performed inhumane medical experiments on Jews and other minorities during the Holocaust.
