This is not a complete ban but it is still good news. The Bill that was passed by the senate 32-16 not only put forth that it would be “unprofessional conduct” meaning that they can be removed from being a certified therapist and other consequences for preforming therapy that would try to change a minor’s sexual orientation, while this does nothing for gender questioning youth it is a huge step in the right direction. They also passed another important bill that is heading as well over to the house which addresses transgender bullying in schools, and now places policies mandating that school districts either create or fix transgender student policies and develop a mandatory training class for teachers.
