They would require psychiatrists, endocrinologists and medical ethicists to have roles in creating facility-wide gender-affirming care plans for patients of all ages. Patients under 21 would have to receive at least six months of mental health counseling before starting gender-affirming medication or surgery. Providers would be barred from referring minors to treatment elsewhere, such as clinics in other states.
I am fairly pro-transgender rights with some exceptions.
If anyone has read my prior post, I have always said a psychiatrist or endocrinologist should be involved with transgender people.
The law to me is a good thing. I don’t agree with the below 21, it should be 18.
I also don’t agree with the referring clause. That is good medicine to refer people to other doctors and sometimes they are outside your state.
Really? I don’t see evidence of that. I believe the vast majority of this minority just want to live their lives and be able to take a piss in peace. Whose rights are being infringed? I’m not aware of trans people demanding any special privileges. They want the rights that everybody else have, nothing more.
I suspect some people would bring up sports as a part of the unfairness of trans existence, but that is not convincing to me. Let the free market handle that: if people don’t want to see trans athletes, then they can choose not to buy tickets to those events.
Remember that one time? Since the beginning of this year, 74 people have been killed and 91 injured in mass shootings of 4 or more victims in the United States. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2024
Should we make gun purchase dependant on 6 months of mental health counseling?
But that one time a trans woman changed her clothes in a gym locker room and people went apeshit? Even tho the LAPD said no crime had been reported, somebody tryin to change their clothes -in a locker room for crying out loud- is a sexual predator and we should have a riot and legislate the shit out of every trans in America because think of the children. Moral Panic.
It would have been less controversial if she had pulled out a gun and shot a bunch of people rather than try to change out of her gym clothes. God bless America.
Really? You do not hear about the issues with trans women and bathrooms?!?! You haven’t see the debates around trans women competing in sports that cause women to lose scholarships and awards?
Why are you talking about guns? They have zero to do with the topic.
It wasn’t a trans woman, it was a man claiming to be trans because he was a sexual predator.
That is incorrect.
On August 30, 2021, a 52-year-old individual, mostly reported as a trans woman,[i] was charged by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office with five counts of felony indecent exposure in connection with the incident, corresponding to the five individuals who’d filed complaints in July. An arrest warrant was issued for said individual.[4][28]

I mention guns because the outrage surrounding transes is not in my opinion commensurate with the issue. 74 people dead in 23 days and no concern, but one pervert showed off their junk, - and now you’re telling me they weren’t even actually trans- therefore all trans are pervs and must suffer because protect the children.
Here’s the thing: when I was in highschool a long time ago, if you beat up a gay kid or autistic kid or a spaz, you’d get a lecture from a teacher or principal and that’s about it. One kid got suspended for half a day because of fighting. The message was pretty clear that it was ok to bully different kids because they were different, just don’t get caught.
I feel like it’s less acceptable in a lot of places now to beat up gays or bully the weird kid and I think that’s a good thing. I believe some people don’t think that’s a good thing, and want to go back to those ‘good old days’, or If that’s not possible, punish the different weird people in any way possible. That’s what I believe is going on here. A lot of this bullshit worry for kids suffering “permanent damage” and weaponized “safety concerns” about “biological males” in the girls bathroom is just a convenient way for some people, not all, to bully those who are different. It’s a way to be mean, disguised by a thin veil of “protect the children!”
This is my message to anyone reading this who may be among those counted as different: don’t be afraid, don’t let them get to you. They won’t win, they can never win.
And here’s my message to the haters: go fuck yourself. God Bless America
So odd. I never said anything like that.
