The time to worry is when there is no disagreement expressed.
Here is another interesting bill introduction by another Florida Republican regarding the ability to take children away from parents if they undergo any sex changing treatments.
https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bil...ab=BillHistory
is this really a thing? I have not ever heard of a minor going through this. From what I interpret they can even intercept a child (under 18) from going to another state. Would a doctor even do this?
what is going on? Are these types of bills routinely introduced?
YES all kinds of gender medical transitioning is being performed on minors.I am talking about physical/medicalized treatment here. If you think hormone blockers are inconsequential to kids’ health I have a bridge to sell you. And not only the hormone blockers, kids are being given cross sex hormones. Natal females are being given testosterone at young ages fir example.
Like anything else I do not think it’s the business of the state to step in here. I can only hope that minors have thoughtful, intelligent parents who will weigh all options and guide them appropriately. Health practitioners who practice “affirming” care and are part of any sort of trans clinic have already drunk the Kool-Aid and may not be trustworthy.
The Missouri legislature, never a beacon of light, is looking at this issue because a whistleblower who worked at the Washington University Transgender clinic came forth to give lots of data about medicalized treatment of minors.
This whistleblower is a self acclaimed “queer lesbian married to a trans person who is to the political left of Bernie Sanders” so she aint no Trumpie. But what she had seen in her work at the transgender clinic is no longer conscionable to her. Yes, youth are being led into physically damaging their bodies forever.

All you need to do is watch a TV show about Jazz Jennings, a youth who has been brutally maimed in multiple surgeries starting up as a minor, at 17. Her parents and surgeon (a trans person. Shock!) worked together thinking they were doing the best thing, but since the TV cameras followed her from a time when she was much younger, they were grooming her for the surgical brutalization.
The UK is years ahead of us, and facing squarely into these issues. Maybe it’s because they are a small island, and the concentration of insanity reached out into the general population quicker than here in the U.S. so that many could understand what was going on. What happened at the Mermaid center is truly unbelievable.
The UK’s main center for treating trans children has pulled back on much of their affirming treatment. Other Scandinavian countries have put a hold on their treatment standards until more research is available.
The world has gone mad.

In my example above Washington University in St. Louis is where this specific trans clinic drama is playing out, even though it’s playing out all over the country in very similar places.
I would like to point out that Washington University, the place of intellectual discovery and high ideals, for years sponsored the Mcdonnell Research Center for Psychic Activity. No children were harmed in that silly years long experiment, though, just millions of Sandy McDonnell’s dollars went down the drain.
Flowers, you are a nurse, do just a little bit of reading to see what’s being done medically to minors in the service of trans affirming care. And do pay attention to Joe Biden’s embracing of affirming care, he issued some sort of dictum about it. It is too bad this is now political because children are being harmed.
Hell, we in the dog world have to fight the “shelter standard “of neutering and spaying pets too early. Bulldogs who are neutered too early lose their sex hormones and they grow longer and leaner than nature intended. Sex hormones cause bone plates to close, slowing and stopping growth ( a good thing,)
This has consequences later in their lives for bone density, and other issues.
I see parallels to puberty blockers with kids.
Or also worry when the disagreement is not allowed to be expressed.
I thought the premise of republicans is to want less government intervention? Or is it only when it serves their agenda?
Small government is a goal for some of us Republicans.
Yes. Small, local government without any messianic pretensions.
