Stop Gender Trafficking of Minors Act

This bill would make it a federal crime to knowingly transport a minor across state or national borders so the minor can get a gender transition procedure. The penalty would be a fine, up to ten years in prison, or both. The bill defines these procedures to include puberty-blocking medications, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries meant to change sex characteristics. A minor or the minor's parent or guardian could sue in federal court for damages and attorneys' fees. The bill would also bar federal funds to state or local governments that permit such transport, declare themselves sanctuary jurisdictions for these procedures, or do not cooperate with related federal investigations.
