INTERVIEW | State OKs Bans on Transgender Treatments for Minors, TikTok in Bid to Keep Kids Safe

Montana recently passed a bill banning transgender treatments on minors.

“It's very important that we protect our children, especially physically, from these treatments that are permanent,” Montana state Rep. Kerri Seekins-Crowe says.

“There's not been a lot of studies done on the long-term effects of these [treatments],” the Republican lawmaker said, adding "but we also see a lot of detransitioners, or people who have regretted it because they were not given the adequate help that they needed and the treatment that they needed. They were just told to have surgery."

The Montana legislation, banning treatments such as cross-sex hormones and gender-reassignment surgeries, passed late last month, was signed into law Friday.

Seekins-Crowe joins "The Daily Signal" podcast to discuss the legislation and the state's action to ban TikTok.
