If there is any question about where transgender ideology leads and the lengths to which its proponents will go to defend it, one need look no further than this year’s legislative session in Nebraska. While a weeks-long filibuster intended to “burn the session to the ground” over a bill to protect children from gender-transition drugs and surgeries has drawn national media attention, it may also provide an important lesson in principled, common-sense conservative leadership in the face of overwhelming adversity.
On January 17, Republican state senator Kathleen Kauth introduced LB574, the “Let Them Grow Act,” in the unicameral Nebraska legislature. The bill prohibits puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender-reassignment surgeries on minors. It is similar to laws adopted by 13 states and currently being considered by more than a dozen others.
