The Wisconsin Senate approved a bill Tuesday evening that would bar doctors from giving minors cross-sex hormones or puberty blockers, setting up a battle between legislators and Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who has said he will veto the bill, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The bill was passed in the state Assembly on Oct. 12 alongside two others that prohibit biological men from competing in girls’ K-12 sports and women’s collegiate sports. The state senate has not weighed in on the two sports bills, but passed legislation barring people under the age of 18 from getting transgender hormone treatments and sterilizing surgeries, which Evers has publicly said he would veto if sent to his desk, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“We’re going to veto every single one of them,” Evers said at a rally, according to the Associated Press. “I know you’re here because you’re pissed off and you want to stop it, and you will stop it, and I’ll help you stop it.”
The bill bars a physician from performing “or [making] a referral for” cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers for the “purpose of changing the minor’s body to correspond to a sex that is discordant with the minor’s biological sex,” according to the text. It also prohibits doctors from performing surgeries such as a “vasectomy, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, metoidioplasty, orchiectomy, penectomy, phalloplasty, and vaginoplasty” for the purpose of changing a minor’s sex since it can result in sterilization.
If a doctor fails to abide by the law, the state medical board has the power to revoke their license to practice and the bill further bars the board from being able to renew the license again in the future, according to the text. Republicans have previously said that they hoped Evers would reconsider his position, calling the bill the “right thing to do for Wisconsin families.”
Evers said in July that he had no intention of supporting legislation that messes with “trans kids,” calling the debate on the subject “an idiotic national issue” and “disgusting,” according to the Cap Times.
“I’m always behind trans kids, trans adults — they’re part of our world,” Evers said. “And anytime you want to mess with [them] you’re going to get a veto. Pretty simple.”
The governor’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: "Our country is going communist!" warned Donald Trump recently. "It's going Marxist, it's going REALLY bad." He added, "The PEOPLE of our country aren't that way – but the people RUNNING it are." Is this just election-season bluster and hyperbole, or can the utterly unthinkable be true?
Incredibly, it is true. In 2023 America, the Democratic Party – its agendas, its core values, its wall-to-wall dishonesty, and its audacious and utterly ruthless methods – are virtually indistinguishable from those of modern-day communists. Compare the Communist Party USA's website, CPUSA.org (where the featured top-of-page story is about "TRANS RIGHTS"), with the Democratic National Committee's website, Democrats.org, and try to discern any substantive difference.
America's plunge into atheistic Marxism in virtually every area of life – from weaponizing government and courts to destroy critics and political opponents, to crushing free speech, to corrupting and brainwashing the nation's children, and much much more – is all stunningly explored in the October issue of WND's critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, titled "AMERICA'S COMMUNIST REVOLUTION: How the freest nation in history is rapidly becoming a Marxist police state." Beyond exposing the Marxist takeover of America's key institutions, this explosive special report goes on to reveal how Marxism/communism is ACTUALLY A MAJOR WORLD RELIGION, albeit a false and malevolent one. It unearths what REALLY motivates the "high priests" of this truly dark atheistic faith, which has captivated untold millions and murdered millions more. And it vividly illustrates exactly how and why citizens of the greatest nation in history are now experiencing – to quote Barack Obama's words – "a fundamental transformation of the United States of America." This Whistleblower issue is a crucial wake-up call for all Americans. WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
