"Adult" here will mean anyone over 21, not 18, since we already have laws preventing <21-year-olds from doing certain things to their body, like smoking or drinking.
The ban must be for existing types of gender-affirming care, not something new and experimental. (Medical interventions only, not stuff like name changes, dress, or pronoun usage.)

A. 1. As provided in subsection A of Section 2 of this act, a
physician or other health care professional performing or attempting
to perform gender transition procedures to any individual under
twenty-one (21) years of age shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a
felony punishable by fine not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000.00), or by confinement in the custody of the Department of

fine and imprisonment.
@LivInTheLookingGlass That wouldn't cause this to resolve YES, right, since it only affects under-21s?
@a I suppose so. I honestly forgot about that clause (mostly because I disagree with it)
@LivInTheLookingGlass My intention is to investigate whether there will be an attack that can't be defended by "they're too immature to make their own decisions".
Quick clarification on if any of the following count:
Hormone therapy as provided to trans adults
Hormone therapy as provided to cis adults (testosterone boosting supplements, for example, or menopause care)
Sex reassignment surgery for trans people on the binary
Sex reassignment surgery for intersex people
Sex reassignment surgery that creates non-natural features, such as a phallus preserving vaginoplasty (this is niche, but I don't think it's strictly experimental anymore)
Breast implants for people assigned male at birth
Androgen blocking medication, such as spironolactone
Hysterectomy, either for cis or trans people
Things like the anti-cross dressing legislation that used to be actively enforced in the states
Antisodomy laws
Blocking or revoking changed gender assignments on government documents
@LivInTheLookingGlass As long as those are all things that are currently offered and are safe, they all count except for the last three. I've updated the question to make it clearer I'm only talking about medical interventions.
