Despite ACLU win in lower court, an appeal by the state means transgender kids and their families will feel the devastating effects of the ban.

    Brought to you by the “don’t tread on me” folks who eagerly tread over anyone they don’t like.

    In this case, children with loving families. No one is forcing. left hands transness on kids you absolute ghouls. Let go of those perals, stop shouting “save the children” and stop telling kids they are wrong for writing (or living) that way.

      I should share this with my mother who “feels like there are a lot more autistic people these days.”

        You should! I mean, yeah, of course it has! As things become less stigmatized and especially in the case of autism, more ways are used to detect/diagnose then… Why wouldn’t it?

            Honestly, I still think we are under-diagnosing. I routinely run into people that I’m 100% sure would be diagnosed if evaluated.

            Now, they are free not to seek a diagnosis for whatever reason, but the diagnosis rate is nowhere near the autism rate for the population.

            Yes, let’s go with what the fields of psychiatry and psychology say on the subject of letting kids transition!

            The consensus being that transitioning is very good for trans kids and the best standard of care.

          Let kids decide when theyre ready to drink and drive. They know themselves better than you know them.

            The difference is that if ANYONE drinks and drives, there is a high chance of harming another. No one else is harmed, or even affected atll by someone transitioning. And the regret/detransition rate is astonishingly low. Never mind thr fact that puberty blockers and all options available to minors is reveraable.

            You are simply just trying to regulate what people do with their own body.

              My god you are a fucking smoothbrain. If we dont let kids drink or drive we sure as fuck shouldnt let them try and physically alter their sex organs or their hormones. And the regret rate and suicide rate is notoriously high what the fuck are you even saying.

                You are falling for clickbait outrage headlines instead of the actual data. 1% of people that get gender surgery experince regret.

                Have you ever stopped to consider social stigma and the things you are saying why people experince regret? Societal pressure is immense for trans folk.

                Honestly, if you really are considered about people’s mental health. Then listen to psychology and let them transition in peace. It’s clinically proven to have the best outcomes.

                You can’t have it both ways. Do you want people’s mental health to improve, or do you want to ignore what psychiatrists suggest?

          “Man legally changed gender to gain custody of his kids. Trans groups are concerned.”
