On the second day of the legislative session, a committee begun considering a policy that would stop minors from receiving gender-affirming health care -- including surgery or puberty blockers -- and another that would govern requirements for schools to notify parents when kids want to change which pronouns they go by.
This year, 11 states have introduced proposals that would enact restrictions on doctors from prescribing puberty blockers, hormones or surgery to transgender kids and teens. Republicans on Tuesday introduced a transgender health care proposal in South Dakota, where one supportive lawmaker called puberty a "natural cure" for gender dysphoria.
"Caring for our children does not mean riding the latest radical wave," he said. "We must ask questions: Does the child understand the long-term ramifications of their decision?" This year's questions about transgender youth and their health care dovetail with another growing Republican priority: parental rights. Jeri Brummett, a transgender conservative woman and member of the Salt Lake County Republican Party, said the proposal was excessive governmental intervention into individual medical decisions.
The word your looking for is children. And no, children shouldn’t be given irreversible drug treatments or cosmetic surgeries
They are abusing all our children with this insane propaganda!!!
There's no such thing as transgender youth. Only child abuse.
It must be against the law to administer any such bullshit to a minor. The consequences of doing so should be dire and swift. Put an end to this money making nonsense 😤👎👎👎
Let kids be kids. It's funny how, 15 years ago, this was not even a topic. Just a bad trend that is Braun washing some children
Endorsing a delusion only increases it.
