That isn't entirely accurate. The doctor supported a bill that would revoke a physician’s license if he or she has offered any “gender affirming care” to children in Wyoming.

No, that was just the wording that the author used.  It specifically addresses medical interventions:

Quote

 

(b)  Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section and for purposes of transitioning a child's biological sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes and endogenous profiles of the child or affirming the child's perception of the child's sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child's biological sex, no physician or health care provider shall:

 

(i)  Perform a surgery that sterilizes the child, including castration, vasectomy, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, metoidioplasty, orchiectomy, penectomy, phalloplasty and vaginoplasty;

 

(ii)  Perform a mastectomy;

 

(iii)  Provide, administer, prescribe or dispense any of the following prescription drugs that induce transient or permanent infertility:

 

(A)  Puberty suppression or blocking prescription drugs to stop or delay normal puberty;

 

(B)  Supraphysiologic doses of testosterone to females;

 

(C)  Supraphysiologic doses of estrogen to males.

 

(iv)  Remove any otherwise healthy or nondiseased body part or tissue.

And it specifically allows mental health treatment:

Quote

(d)  Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit a minor from receiving mental health treatment, provided that such treatment shall not include any treatments prohibited by subsection (b)(iii) of this section.
