America First Legal is suing Gov. Jay Inslee (D-WA) to stop a law allowing children to get genital mutilation surgeries without their parents' knowledge or consent.
AFL, headed by former Trump administration policy adviser Stephen Miller, is challenging Senate Bill 5599, which Inslee signed into law in May and allows shelters to house runaway children and provide them with genital mutilation and chemical castration interventions if they are struggling with gender dysphoria.
"Gender-affirming treatment can be prescribed to two-spirits, transgender, nonbinary, and other gender diverse individuals," according to the legislation. Proponents call the procedures"life-saving" despite a growing cache of evidence to the contrary. "This litigation is about saving our children from those who abuse their innocence, torment their minds, and disfigure their bodies," he added.
Washington Democrats said the bill"removes barriers to safe shelter for youth seeking gender-affirming or reproductive health care.
