The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Matt Sharp, director of the ADF Center for Public Policy, regarding South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster’s signing Tuesday of H. 4624, a law that protects children from the administration of life-altering sex-related surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones and affirms the biological reality of sex as male and female: “There are only two sexes—male and female—and denying this basic truth hurts vulnerable children.
