Oklahoma Governor, Kevin Stitt, said this week in reference to a bill that would limit childhood gender, affirming mutilations, "We must protect our most vulnerable, our children... minors can’t vote, can’t purchase alcohol, can’t purchase cigarettes. We shouldn’t allow a minor to get a permanent gender-altering surgery in Oklahoma."

"That’s why I am calling on the legislature to send me a bill that bans all gender-transition surgeries and hormone therapies on minors in the state."

His statement were met with hundreds of "Trans Lives Matter" protesters gathered at the Oklahoma state Capitol to protest against the legislation.

The protestors can be heard chanting, "this is our house," and "protect trans kids," and holding signs that read, "Protect trans rights" and "My body, my freedom."
