Sorry, but Texas has stuck it's f*king nose into the parent/child/DOCTOR relationship because.....dare I say, transphobia?
I am firmly on the side of protecting children from abuse. But VERIFIED medical care, involving therapists, endocrinologists and medical doctors IS NOT the purview of an intrusive government.
I am as worried, maybe more so, about children transitioning medically, as any other responsible adult. But I also know that it IS helpful, it is MEANINGFUL, it is NEEDED in cases where the therapists and other medical professionals determine such. For government to ARBITRARILY decide ALL medical intervention with children is CRIMINAL is obscene and should be so stated.
