I cannot bring myself to sink to her level. And since hypocrisy is meat and drink to these asshats, they wonât see an issue with it. They suck.

A five month gauntlet of christofacists and quacks, using a therapy repeatedly shown to be harmful and doesnât work, doesnât sound like itâs for the benefit of the individual subjected to it.

The law and the regulations are bad, but the guidelines also stipulate that the therapy has to be ânon-covertingâ as well as ânon-affirmingâ. Now, I have no idea what neutral therapy in such cases looks like, but at least they didnât outright ban gender affirming care like many other states have. The part of those guidelines that bother me more is the requirement that a trans youth has to live in their identified gender for 6 months before they can get a prescription for puberty blockers. They used to do this with adults. Originally, a âreal life testâ of one year of living in your identified gender was required before you could get on HRT. They scrapped that requirement because it made âpassingâ that real life test almost impossible, so people just got hormones underground instead of through a doctor. This will do the same thing.
The real problem with all of this, of course, is that this legislation is assuming that there arenât currently standards of care for trans adults and youth. They imagine that 13 year olds are having surgery on demand, and that just isnât happening. There were already guardrails in place to ensure that people who werenât trans didnât make a terrible mistake. Many would argue too many guardrails. But those guardrails were put in place by the medical establishment, not by politicians, and that just wonât do, apparently. Anyway, yeah, this is bad, but itâs so much worse in other places.
