The new law that bans gender-affirming care for minors also mandates that adult patients seeking trans health care sign an informed consent form. It also requires a physician to oversee any health care related to transitioning, and for people to see that doctor in person. Those rules have proven particularly onerous because many people received care from nurse practitioners and used telehealth. The law also made it a crime to violate the new requirements.

Another new law that allows doctors and pharmacists to refuse to treat transgender people further limits their options.

      Stop targeting kids with child marriage, beauty parents and abusers in the church. Those are real problems that children face.

      You don’t give a damn about children. This is entirely about targeting a class of people you hate, with kids as the excuse, and it’s fucking vile and evil.

      The same reasoning the Nazies called themselves socialist, despite being a fascist dictatorship. Why China says they are communist, while being a dictatorship with limited capitalism. And the US thinking it’s a democracy when it’s a Oligarchy with limited local democracy.

      Dumb people think words mean more than actions/reality.

      Because people like you repeatedly say trans people are grooming kids, just like people like you said gay men were grooming kids, just like people like you said black men were grooming your kids (to do drugs).

      Personally, I don’t see what is “curious” about responding to wild accusations against an entire minority group with a resounding “that’s not happening and you’re using a dog whistle to dehumanize trans people.”

      Things may be less “curious” for you if, instead of starting with a conclusion and working backwards to justify/explain it, you started with a question/hypothesis and worked towards a logical conclusion. Just a suggestion.

      Then why is “stop targeting kids” seen as transphobic if it’s nothing to do with kids?

      Because the bigots who say it aren’t saying it about people who are targeting kids. They’re falsely accusing trans people of targeting kids.

      Because nobody in the LGBT community is targeting kids with anything, so when you make that implication, you are perpetuating an offensive and recently extremely dangerous stereotype which has actually gotten people killed already.

      Just in case you aren’t actually trolling and legitimately don’t understand this.
