"For 16- and 17-year-olds wishing to proceed with puberty blockers or other hormone therapies for the purpose of gender reassignment, they may do so only if they have parental,psychologist and Dr. approval," she added.

Smith also verified that the proposed legislation would require parental notification and consent for a "teacher or staff member to change a child's name or pronoun and publicly use that new name or pronoun in a classroom setting or school asset."

About the proposed law, Smith said that her government believes it is "vitally important to preserve the time" kids have as a "youth."
