> The proposed legislation, announced online by Smith in January, seeks to prohibit those under 18 from undergoing gender affirmation surgery and those under 16 from accessing puberty blockers and hormone therapy.
> Smith has said those 16 and 17 can access puberty blockers and hormone therapy but only after a physician, psychologist and parents have agreed.
Bottom surgery isn’t done on those under 18. Top surgery is rare and also done on girls.
Banning puberty blockers and HRT under 16 is basically banning them. Puberty has already happened by 16. That’s the whole fucking point of the blockers, to delay it. And they’re safe. She’s forcing trans kids to go through the wrong puberty.
> It would also require parents to opt in for lessons touching on sexual orientation and sexual and gender identity. Currently, parents have the ability to opt out.
And that is just insane and extremely dangerous to all children.
