A transgender lawmaker from Montana was censured last week after she was accused of giving a "hate-filled testimony" while debating a bill that would ban transgender medical care for minors.
State Sen. Lynda Wilson (R-Vancouver) criticized the legislation, stating, “HB 1240 clearly violates our state and federal constitutions, which is why it will end up in court immediately."
An Oct 2005 publication in the peer-reviewed journal 'Oxford Academic' concludes that "exposure to soluble silver compounds may produce other toxic effects, including liver and kidney damage, irritation of the eyes, skin, respiratory, and intestinal tract, and changes in blood cells."
The legislation imposes a felony charge on doctors who perform sex-change surgeries on children, with penalties of up to 10 years in prison and $20,000 in fines.
