Alabama lawmakers on Thursday passed a bill criminalizing sex change treatments for children, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and sex-change surgeries.

If signed by Gov. Kay Ivey, the bill would treat sex-change treatments for children as Class C felonies, which carry a penalty of up to ten years in prison for medical practitioners, the Daily Caller reports

Indeed, the legislation would ban medical treatments to change a child’s appearance or affirm their gender identity, including drugs that halt healthy puberty, cross-sex hormones, surgical sterilizations, cosmetic genital reconstruction surgeries and the removal of healthy body parts. 

The bill makes exceptions for male circumcision and the treatment of medically verifiable sex disorders. 

It also makes it illegal for teachers and other school employees to encourage children to withhold information about their gender confusion from their parents. 

It is unclear whether Ivey will sign the bill.
