Ending child transitions in the US?

Section 4 is the kicker, as it threatens funding in a probably-defensible way. Though I’m not sure it would stop independent clinics.
Section 8 instructs DoJ to go after practitioners using existing anti-FGM laws.
The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

I agree in principle about section 4, but Section 8 has the most immediate impact. Remember that the vast majority of teen transitions are girls, and the genital mutilation laws are for real.

But how many addadictomes (say it out loud) are performed on teens? Usually they just sterilize them and remove their breasts at that age.

Could you argue that taking drugs and hormones that desensitizes and impedes the development of female genitalia is mutilation? I think so.

I long for the days of the circumcision discussions.

Either way, it’s a step. Next up will be the legal challenges, and ultimately Congress needs to address it.
