So why would we allow children to permanently disrupt their development or permanently modify their bodies before they are mature enough to make that decision for themselves.
It's a ban on cosmetic surgery. It's not a medically necessary procedure for anyone, let alone a minor. Unless, there is a real medical need, there shouldn't even be a question.
Have you ever bothered to speak to someone who happened to be transgender or simply doesn’t prescribe to the more traditional view on relationships? There’s nothing woke about looking at others and trying to understand what they are going through. 50% of marriages in America end in divorce. There’s nothing wrong with me and unmarried single male hoping to get married one day looking at that and wondering what’s going on here. Why are all these people getting married and then getting divorced later? That’s not being woke. I’m simply examining the facts in front of me and asking questions. We indeed do have individuals all across the country who say this is real it can be scientifically proven to be real. We can literally study a human being and they have XXY chromosomes. Not XX or XY but some strange mutation. Explain it? Don’t consider it woke to look at the facts and ask questions. That’s what you should do. That’s what you were giving a brain for.
The one thing with "woke issues" are they they are not about white men. The "woke issue" is a tactic to keep white men in power and the people divided. Also anyone weaponizing "woke" is admitting they are a sociopath.

Whole trans thing is bogus, we need to understand the science not paid pharmaceutical and woke research. I can bet you after 50 years we will all know how pathetic and wrong this decisions are.
People in these comments with an opinion on “protecting children” hasn’t even bothered to ask the trans kids who are actually affected by these bans how they feel about the whole thing.
There are age requirements on so many things. Why is this any different? Maybe some of these children need mental health care not body mutilation that will affect the rest of their lives.
Okay, so you care about child safety? Well, Tennessee, what is the #1 cause of death among children? This isn't about "safety"; they want to remove the veil of ignorance for all medical treatment, hence Alito being a swing vote. If you wish to maintain medical privacy, you must stand with the LGBTQ+ community regardless of what your gut tells you. Otherwise, you are basically saying you want the state inside your house and making medical decisions for you.
The words transgender and minor used together bother me. I've been on the the democrats side of the aisle however, minors being allowed or even encouraged to transform their bodies during their adolescence is disturbing to me.
Sexual discrimination cannot be argued because the practice itself questions sexuality! The Constitution doesnt mention sexuality and individuals cannot burden a State or taxpayers to pay for these selective medical practices!
Sex and sexuality are 2 very different things. One is genetic and the other is an attraction to others bodies. Regardless none of these procedures are subsidized by the state.
Some of these matters are stomach churning to be honest. Who stands before a court to argue invasive medical procedures that permanently danages kids is a matter of "rights?" Apparently, some. Some really dangerous minded people. This is sick.
@atasteofreality609 the people who stand to make lots of money by creating lifelong customers from misguided and misinformed people. Always follow the money.
Why can’t they leave kids alone. When they become an adult then they can decide. And if they do then let them or the parents bear the cost. The taxpayers must not be made responsible for elective surgery or medical costs. And the hell with California politics and legislature and governor. If they want to force their taxpayers to pay then go for it.
So trans kids should be forced to suffer with the psychological effects of gender dysphoria for potentially 18 years? Depression and suicidal ideation? Not to mention that this could be expanded to adults still covered by their parents, and that puberty blockers are easily reversible.
The fact that we’re even questioning whether parents have the right to make medical decisions for their children is insane! Yess I have that right. Kids often go through things only to outgrow them once they’re older. This is evil and I pray Trump does block this. Parents are supposed to protect and guide their children. This is the opposite of that.
seems quite difficult to find information regarding the number of minors receiving GAC in Tennessee but it must be quite a low number. If so, why is the Tennessee legislature spending time taking rights away from such a small number of their citizens instead of focusing on real problems that affect many more lives. The poverty rate is about 13% in the state. Wouldn’t solving this problem be a better use of resources?
Would you also argue that trans people are such a small number that why would we waste time protecting their rights when we could focus on real problems that affect many more lives?
No, they have to protect the rights of children. The only persons that would be “losing rights” (sic) are the disgusting adults who would force permanent decisions upon children who are likely to mature out of their situations as adults. If the children - when adults- still want to pursue that avenue then that’s their choice; whether I agree with it or not is constitutionally irrelevant. It’s about assuring children’s humanitarian rights - constitutional rights- are protected, not taking rights away from anyone.
@@fishhuntadventure If that were true, then they would be focussing on the #1 cause of death for children in the state of Tennessee, which is... Guns? Color me surprised! The original commenter is correct; we are talking about a fraction of the public and an even smaller fraction of them actually being abused by these so-called "disgusting adults." Also, it follows that more children are physically abused without any basis of gender by disgusting parents than in the prior category; yet again, the state legislature is more inclined to act on the prior.
What’s sad is that these parents don’t know how to teach their kids that it’s what’s on the inside that counts overall. The trans movement is probably the most shallow political event of human history because at the end of the day it seems to be more about fitting in than tolerance or learning how to accept others for being different and most importantly, learning how to love and accept oneself the way you are. It’s one thing to I guess undergo surgery as an adult- but as a child it does feel very immature which is appropriate considering the fact that minors are literally dumb kids. With that said, if these parents want to let their kids destroy their bodies and have to live with potentially even more problems beyond emotional and mental stress and discomfort, who cares, it’s a “free” country.
I’m with the conservatives on this. I believe in trans, but it’s rare. It’s wrong to talk to kids about gender identity. They are vulnerable and could make drastic life altering decisions. I say only ADULTS, should make their own decisions about whether they want to transition. No surgery or treatment for anyone under the age of 18. I would think even age 25 would be better.
Why stop at 25? At that point? You might as well just ban it all together. People can already die for the country at age 18 in the military and buy a shotgun. But you want them to wait until age 25 to make a decision about their identity. Warped
You do realize this is over puberty blockers which are a temporary stall on puberty they Should have. Then like you said... They can choose to transition as adults.
@bh24x they are not a temporary stall. They literally cause sterilization. They weren't even meant for biological boys. And everyone knows why biological boys are taking puberty blockers. It's purely for cosmetic reasons so they looks more prepubescent and thus more feminine. But you're literally talking about destroying the natural human development and sterility for superficial looks.
As a nurse I feel minor children should not be allowed any Trans gender treatment. The amount of opposing sex hormones to change sex is going to end up causing too many cases of cancers in later life. Developing bodies need to be left alone until maturity. Measurement guidelines should be when the long bones are capped and sealed naturally. Besides this puts the minor in more maturity to make up their minds about transgender. I've see too many young adults sorry thy changed from thir birth gender. But my overwhelming medical concern is what hormonal therapies will do to deviate from natural cell formation.
If I had been arguing before the Supreme Court in defense of gender-affirming care, I would have closed with this: “It seems that no argument I present here can sway what has already been decided. Justice has been overshadowed by the weight of bags of gold. Do as you will-but remember, true judgment lies beyond this chamber, and it will not be yours to escape.”
How? How is making already stressed out, anxious trans kids MORE stressed out and anxious over banning procedures that their insurance companies were likely already denying them coverage and access to until the charges for the visits to the psych wards started becoming more than some therapy and or a surgery? Please, explain.
@@unlistedandtwisted how is putting stressed out children going through puberty through body modifications and extreme hormones ok? You need to seek some mental health help just like those kids.
You people arguing for this should be institutionalized because something upstairs went wrong that needs a fixing..THIS IS INSANE..They cant use the internet anymore in Australia but old enough to make a life changing, irreversible surgery decision..
If the Equal Protection Clause protects sex discrimination and here both boys and girls are being barred from trans medical procedures, how is there discrimination based on sex? Based on Bostock v. Clayton there needs to be a specific discrimination “because of … sex," not just concerning sex.
As long as it is proven to be reversible, because people do regret having chosen to undertake it, then I'm fine with it. If it is not, then we have a problem.
Why do I care what other countries have done in regards to sex treatment of minors this is the United States of America and we do things within our 50 borders within our constitution. Why would we look to how others govern when interpreting law. Now it’s OK to look at how others govern when you write law because you want to predict outcomes. But here we are not trying to predict an outcome. We are supposed to be looking at the law all of the law just what we care about and making a sound decision. I don’t care what everybody else decided. This is the United States
Because countries have doctors and scientists researching this issue and many were doing this before us. Now they are scaling bad on gender affirming care because of the harm it does to kids bodies. This is irreversible. It's insane to argue that kids can consent to these life altering drugs.
IF they were arguing ‘precedent’ I’d disagree with you. But “they” are not arguing precedent, they are arguing an intellectual fallacy: “well look over here! See? Everyone does it this way” kindofa thing. You are right: it’s not about europe or New Zealand or Asia. It’s about the US Constitution and protecting the rights of citizens who have not “reached the age of majority.” AKA children. Protecting children is the issue.
Am I the only one who noticed that when the Tennessee Attorney General was pointedly asked if the concern about the Supreme Court upholding Tennessee's ban would open the door to a national ban, he completely skirted responding to that direct question... He in effect offered a non-responsive response. The bottom line is this... It's pretty clear that initiatives people support they want nationalized - it's only when there's some policy that they dissent from supporting that you hear the screams "it should be decided by the states." What's in itself is not necessarily irrational... But it is hypocritically inconsistent.

This isn't necessary medical procedures. It's literally cosmetic. It's all cosmetic. A boy can't become a girl and vice versa. Have you ever seen a trans person in person. You can instantly tell their sex. Sara mcbride looks like a man in person.
Parents on the left have lost their damn minds and are transing their normal kids for brownie points with their sick friends.... celebrities are all doing it....that's why.
You can't graft another person's toe onto your toe. That medical procedure is not available, same as transing.Children that medical procedure should not be available
Good on them let kids be kids how can we have all these laws banning kids from doing things such as drive and drink and all that but say they ate mature enough to decide if they are a boy or girl makes no sense
They're using parental rights to argue their case... what about the parental rights that are ignored when schools transition children without their parent's consent or knowledge? Funny how they don't like it when the boot is on the other foot.
I would probably be on the side of the plaintiffs if I hadn’t had the experience of interviewing a young woman who, during the interview said, “Gee, maybe I should have stayed a boy.” I’m not sure how many trans people have that “buyer’s remorse”, but maybe Tennessee is right in requiring them to wait until they have more life experience. However, I think this whole topic is still in its infancy and hope that there is a desire to find the best solution for these people rather than adopting rigid positions for or against.
We need to talk about symptoms and causes. We need to talk about the sociological instigators that are being ignored. Aren’t we confusing in some children’s cases treatment of symptoms with recognition of and solutions to some probable exacerbating causes of gender dysphoria? By allowing children suffering from gender dysphoria to take permanent medical measures in search of a “cure” we fail to address the role of social media in this, as well as in strictly Mental health illnesses. I’m not denying the physiological condition, but ignoring the sociological antagonists is blowing my mind.
This Attorney General needs to actually speak with trans youth and parents. I agree we live in different times and need pragmatic solutions to real problems but suicide is a huge issue here and they are just ignoring it. The first step to solving a problem is acknowledging we have one.
Im just curious as to why so many non trans people and people who don't have trans children care so much. What fo they know about transgender issues and care? Seriously, what makes you think you know more. And as argued to be clear this would ban the same treatment used for boys whose testicles don't descend and children who have delayed or accelerated puberty
I care because in California, I'm being forced to comply in this delusion. I also don't want my tax dollars to fund the delusion. I'm tired of pretending this doesn't affect me.
@@terrancecloverfield6791Are you angry that Medicare and Medicaid exist? Your taxes are going to corporations making billions and you're angry that your neighbors get medical care? How out of touch are you?
Easy; infringing upon others’ rights is not within the purview of individual civil liberties. Folks cannot pick and choose which sex they are, plain, simple fact. Peaceable enjoyment of certain spaces is a universally understood and accepted social concept because everyone needs space sometime and have come to expect protections from cruel and unusual treatment. Most transwomen are still more attracted to women, lawsuits will probably pour in pretty quick and the argument for a biological woman to use the women’s restroom is going to be difficult to refute. People should be able to have say in how they are addressed, but they can’t expect to others to just know how they want to be addressed; strangers can’t be expected to address anyone other than civilly. A person could, and it’s becoming increasingly more common, to change gender constantly depending on whatever social perks could be available; this is very obviously unsustainable behavior. This country was founded upon the idea of sovereignty, but it is increasingly turning to the land of opportunity only for the privileged. Law and order subject to change without notice

So why would we allow children to permanently disrupt their development or permanently modify their bodies before they are mature enough to make that decision for themselves.
I just don't think taxpayers should have to pay for it smh ..
I think that mr. Skrmetti made some well-founded and good arguments in favor of the Tennessee ban. Well done

This is not a religious issue, its a common sense issue
It's a ban on cosmetic surgery. It's not a medically necessary procedure for anyone, let alone a minor. Unless, there is a real medical need, there shouldn't even be a question.
It is making them medically dependent for LIFE , it is sterilizing them! These surgeries are cosmetic 100%
I’m done with this stinking Democrat Party ! I can’t do it anymore. I’m out…..
shut it down! no more woke!
Have you ever bothered to speak to someone who happened to be transgender or simply doesn’t prescribe to the more traditional view on relationships? There’s nothing woke about looking at others and trying to understand what they are going through.
50% of marriages in America end in divorce. There’s nothing wrong with me and unmarried single male hoping to get married one day looking at that and wondering what’s going on here. Why are all these people getting married and then getting divorced later? That’s not being woke. I’m simply examining the facts in front of me and asking questions.
We indeed do have individuals all across the country who say this is real it can be scientifically proven to be real. We can literally study a human being and they have XXY chromosomes. Not XX or XY but some strange mutation. Explain it? Don’t consider it woke to look at the facts and ask questions. That’s what you should do. That’s what you were giving a brain for.
The one thing with "woke issues" are they they are not about white men. The "woke issue" is a tactic to keep white men in power and the people divided. Also anyone weaponizing "woke" is admitting they are a sociopath.

This is child abuse!!!
It's evil.
Yes, denying medical care for minors is evil.
It's child abuse to refuse a child treatment especially when the basis or reason for it comes from bronze age myths.

@@CobaltxBoom Kamala lost 😂
People in these comments with an opinion on “protecting children” hasn’t even bothered to ask the trans kids who are actually affected by these bans how they feel about the whole thing.
There are age requirements on so many things. Why is this any different?
Maybe some of these children need mental health care not body mutilation that will affect the rest of their lives.
You dont get to blame sucide on not getting transitioning meds.
would you blame revoking depression medication to a depressed person for an increased suicide rate? Becuase i absolutely would.
Okay, so you care about child safety? Well, Tennessee, what is the #1 cause of death among children?
This isn't about "safety"; they want to remove the veil of ignorance for all medical treatment, hence Alito being a swing vote. If you wish to maintain medical privacy, you must stand with the LGBTQ+ community regardless of what your gut tells you. Otherwise, you are basically saying you want the state inside your house and making medical decisions for you.
The words transgender and minor used together bother me. I've been on the the democrats side of the aisle however, minors being allowed or even encouraged to transform their bodies during their adolescence is disturbing to me.
This is really sick and creepy !
Sexual discrimination cannot be argued because the practice itself questions sexuality! The Constitution doesnt mention sexuality and individuals cannot burden a State or taxpayers to pay for these selective medical practices!
You are trying to speak logic to people who cannot figure out gender.
But doctors shouldn't be punished either
@JCB576 the doctors who are doing these surgeries are choosing that profession. Surgeons aren't mandated to do these surgeries.
Sex and sexuality are 2 very different things. One is genetic and the other is an attraction to others bodies. Regardless none of these procedures are subsidized by the state.
Soon the woke will try to redefine the Moon as being the Sun.
Some of these matters are stomach churning to be honest. Who stands before a court to argue invasive medical procedures that permanently danages kids is a matter of "rights?" Apparently, some. Some really dangerous minded people. This is sick.
It’s rarely invasive. You listen to Trump too much. We’re talking puberty blockers, not cutting off weiners.
Yup 🤷♂️
@atasteofreality609 the people who stand to make lots of money by creating lifelong customers from misguided and misinformed people. Always follow the money.
Let people decide their own medical decisions. The talk of transitioning can take years for them to decide. It's not a jump decision.
Its the kids' rights to decide for themselves with consultation from a physician, not a politician.
Why can’t they leave kids alone. When they become an adult then they can decide. And if they do then let them or the parents bear the cost. The taxpayers must not be made responsible for elective surgery or medical costs.
And the hell with California politics and legislature and governor. If they want to force their taxpayers to pay then go for it.
So trans kids should be forced to suffer with the psychological effects of gender dysphoria for potentially 18 years? Depression and suicidal ideation? Not to mention that this could be expanded to adults still covered by their parents, and that puberty blockers are easily reversible.
When they become an adult they would have already suffered permanent damage from the wrong puberty. It isn’t elective one damn bit.
@@SizzleCorndog Puberty blockers are NOT easily reversible! Why do people keep saying this? Have you not seen any detransitioners?

The fact that we’re even questioning whether parents have the right to make medical decisions for their children is insane! Yess I have that right. Kids often go through things only to outgrow them once they’re older. This is evil and I pray Trump does block this. Parents are supposed to protect and guide their children. This is the opposite of that.
seems quite difficult to find information regarding the number of minors receiving GAC in Tennessee but it must be quite a low number. If so, why is the Tennessee legislature spending time taking rights away from such a small number of their citizens instead of focusing on real problems that affect many more lives. The poverty rate is about 13% in the state. Wouldn’t solving this problem be a better use of resources?
When democrats want see change on kids ,it's extremely important to stop them. No common sense
Would you also argue that trans people are such a small number that why would we waste time protecting their rights when we could focus on real problems that affect many more lives?
No, they have to protect the rights of children. The only persons that would be “losing rights” (sic) are the disgusting adults who would force permanent decisions upon children who are likely to mature out of their situations as adults. If the children - when adults- still want to pursue that avenue then that’s their choice; whether I agree with it or not is constitutionally irrelevant.
It’s about assuring children’s humanitarian rights - constitutional rights- are protected, not taking rights away from anyone.
@@fishhuntadventure If that were true, then they would be focussing on the #1 cause of death for children in the state of Tennessee, which is... Guns? Color me surprised! The original commenter is correct; we are talking about a fraction of the public and an even smaller fraction of them actually being abused by these so-called "disgusting adults." Also, it follows that more children are physically abused without any basis of gender by disgusting parents than in the prior category; yet again, the state legislature is more inclined to act on the prior.
Why are you pro child mutilation?
And are these the same parents that throw their children out if they say they are gay?
What’s sad is that these parents don’t know how to teach their kids that it’s what’s on the inside that counts overall. The trans movement is probably the most shallow political event of human history because at the end of the day it seems to be more about fitting in than tolerance or learning how to accept others for being different and most importantly, learning how to love and accept oneself the way you are. It’s one thing to I guess undergo surgery as an adult- but as a child it does feel very immature which is appropriate considering the fact that minors are literally dumb kids. With that said, if these parents want to let their kids destroy their bodies and have to live with potentially even more problems beyond emotional and mental stress and discomfort, who cares, it’s a “free” country.
Stop pushing this on kid's!!
I’m with the conservatives on this. I believe in trans, but it’s rare. It’s wrong to talk to kids about gender identity. They are vulnerable and could make drastic life altering decisions. I say only ADULTS, should make their own decisions about whether they want to transition.
No surgery or treatment for anyone under the age of 18. I would think even age 25 would be better.
There are no such thing as trans. You literally cant transition. There are people who may feel gender dsyphoric.
Why stop at 25? At that point? You might as well just ban it all together. People can already die for the country at age 18 in the military and buy a shotgun. But you want them to wait until age 25 to make a decision about their identity. Warped
You do realize this is over puberty blockers which are a temporary stall on puberty they Should have. Then like you said... They can choose to transition as adults.
Good thing you're not in charge of controlling everyone's lives. Work on your own instead.
@bh24x they are not a temporary stall. They literally cause sterilization. They weren't even meant for biological boys.
And everyone knows why biological boys are taking puberty blockers. It's purely for cosmetic reasons so they looks more prepubescent and thus more feminine. But you're literally talking about destroying the natural human development and sterility for superficial looks.
As a nurse I feel minor children should not be allowed any Trans gender treatment. The amount of opposing sex hormones to change sex is going to end up causing too many cases of cancers in later life. Developing bodies need to be left alone until maturity. Measurement guidelines should be when the long bones are capped and sealed naturally.
Besides this puts the minor in more maturity to make up their minds about transgender. I've see too many young adults sorry thy changed from thir birth gender. But my overwhelming medical concern is what hormonal therapies will do to deviate from natural cell formation.
Ban plastic surgery too! What are the benefits?
Your reporter is in the wrong. They don't do nose jobs or breast augmentation on people under 18. So it's not the same thing.
If I had been arguing before the Supreme Court in defense of gender-affirming care, I would have closed with this: “It seems that no argument I present here can sway what has already been decided. Justice has been overshadowed by the weight of bags of gold. Do as you will-but remember, true judgment lies beyond this chamber, and it will not be yours to escape.”
Accept the majority support this decision and that's why it's in the supreme courts hands to begin with. You don't have nearly the support you think.

If the Equal Protection Clause protects sex discrimination and here both boys and girls are being barred from trans medical procedures, how is there discrimination based on sex? Based on Bostock v. Clayton there needs to be a specific discrimination “because of … sex," not just concerning sex.
A boy can get T to affirm male gender, a girl cannot get T to affirm male gender, ergo the law discriminates on the basis of sex.
I don't know if it's because title ix was interpreted to including gender identity under sex. I have to read the petitioners complaint.
Tennessee banned chemtrails. Good start.

As long as it is proven to be reversible, because people do regret having chosen to undertake it, then I'm fine with it. If it is not, then we have a problem.

Why do I care what other countries have done in regards to sex treatment of minors this is the United States of America and we do things within our 50 borders within our constitution. Why would we look to how others govern when interpreting law.
Now it’s OK to look at how others govern when you write law because you want to predict outcomes. But here we are not trying to predict an outcome. We are supposed to be looking at the law all of the law just what we care about and making a sound decision. I don’t care what everybody else decided. This is the United States
Because countries have doctors and scientists researching this issue and many were doing this before us. Now they are scaling bad on gender affirming care because of the harm it does to kids bodies. This is irreversible. It's insane to argue that kids can consent to these life altering drugs.
IF they were arguing ‘precedent’ I’d disagree with you. But “they” are not arguing precedent, they are arguing an intellectual fallacy: “well look over here! See? Everyone does it this way” kindofa thing.
You are right: it’s not about europe or New Zealand or Asia. It’s about the US Constitution and protecting the rights of citizens who have not “reached the age of majority.” AKA children.
Protecting children is the issue.
Minors must not be touched and castrated.
Am I the only one who noticed that when the Tennessee Attorney General was pointedly asked if the concern about the Supreme Court upholding Tennessee's ban would open the door to a national ban, he completely skirted responding to that direct question... He in effect offered a non-responsive response.
The bottom line is this... It's pretty clear that initiatives people support they want nationalized - it's only when there's some policy that they dissent from supporting that you hear the screams "it should be decided by the states." What's in itself is not necessarily irrational... But it is hypocritically inconsistent.
Or some issues should be solved by the state and some like this one....have proven to need more.

Frankly, this is beyond disappointing questioning by Jake. The fact that he allows this man to assert that it doesn’t increase the rate of completed suicide without pushing back is disgusting. Right after the ACLU advocate concedes that point, they clarify that completed suicide is still, thankfully, rare in these studies and that the appropriate metric is actually suicidality, which long term longitudinal study have overwhelming seen an increase in.

Parents have ALWAYS had the right to make medical decisions on behalf of their children. Why is it different in this case?
Because you don't have the right to mutilate children. Weirdo.
Because most people think it’s a crime to mutilate children here
Parents have never had the right to voluntarily ruin they’re child’s life with surgery and drugs.
That’s why this is different.
This isn't necessary medical procedures. It's literally cosmetic. It's all cosmetic. A boy can't become a girl and vice versa.
Have you ever seen a trans person in person. You can instantly tell their sex. Sara mcbride looks like a man in person.
Parents on the left have lost their damn minds and are transing their normal kids for brownie points with their sick friends.... celebrities are all doing it....that's why.
You can't graft another person's toe onto your toe. That medical procedure is not available, same as transing.Children that medical procedure should not be available

Atleast a saner discussion between CNN and Republican where no-one is pulling anyone down.
Something done 15 years back
They're using parental rights to argue their case... what about the parental rights that are ignored when schools transition children without their parent's consent or knowledge? Funny how they don't like it when the boot is on the other foot.
I would probably be on the side of the plaintiffs if I hadn’t had the experience of interviewing a young woman who, during the interview said, “Gee, maybe I should have stayed a boy.” I’m not sure how many trans people have that “buyer’s remorse”, but maybe Tennessee is right in requiring them to wait until they have more life experience. However, I think this whole topic is still in its infancy and hope that there is a desire to find the best solution for these people rather than adopting rigid positions for or against.
This shouldn't even be a discussion.... There is male and female. That's it! This is basic biology people.
We need to talk about symptoms and causes. We need to talk about the sociological instigators that are being ignored. Aren’t we confusing in some children’s cases treatment of symptoms with recognition of and solutions to some probable exacerbating causes of gender dysphoria? By allowing children suffering from gender dysphoria to take permanent medical measures in search of a “cure” we fail to address the role of social media in this, as well as in strictly Mental health illnesses. I’m not denying the physiological condition, but ignoring the sociological antagonists is blowing my mind.
This Attorney General needs to actually speak with trans youth and parents. I agree we live in different times and need pragmatic solutions to real problems but suicide is a huge issue here and they are just ignoring it. The first step to solving a problem is acknowledging we have one.
Abuse is not treatment Jake.

Easy; infringing upon others’ rights is not within the purview of individual civil liberties. Folks cannot pick and choose which sex they are, plain, simple fact. Peaceable enjoyment of certain spaces is a universally understood and accepted social concept because everyone needs space sometime and have come to expect protections from cruel and unusual treatment. Most transwomen are still more attracted to women, lawsuits will probably pour in pretty quick and the argument for a biological woman to use the women’s restroom is going to be difficult to refute. People should be able to have say in how they are addressed, but they can’t expect to others to just know how they want to be addressed; strangers can’t be expected to address anyone other than civilly. A person could, and it’s becoming increasingly more common, to change gender constantly depending on whatever social perks could be available; this is very obviously unsustainable behavior. This country was founded upon the idea of sovereignty, but it is increasingly turning to the land of opportunity only for the privileged. Law and order subject to change without notice
