 South Carolina protects children from mutilating surgeries and gender secrecy. This is Matt Stavert with Freedom's Call. The South Carolina legislature has passed child protections that ban harmful puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and irreversible mutilating surgeries for minors. The bill also prevents schools from withholding information from a parent if their child experiences gender confusion. Governor Henry McMaster has expressed support for the bill and is expected to sign it into law.
