Looks like it's going to be vetoed
“This bill is nothing short of cruel,” Democratic Sen. Mark Spreitzer said during debate. He questioned why the Senate was taking it up given Evers’ vow to veto it. “Stop hurting LGBTQ kids.”
Tony Evers somehow finds a way to fund trans healthcare for the next 400 years by vetoing individual words on the bill.
LGBT rights will keep getting better in AES states and worse in capitalist states and I wonder what libs are going to do when AES states as a whole are unambiguously more gay-friendly than
cuba is already there. vietnam is making solid progress, ill give it 5 based on vibes. just gotta wait for china, which will be there in 10ish years when the younger cohort takes charge
not much is known about laos but i personally know a surgeon that taught 20+ people transgender surgery training there for like 20 years. no clue about the DPRK.
"I have denied this fact for a long time. For so long. It is no trouble to deny a little longer."
This is what I wondered first: "even I say you're right, is this actually even an "issue"?"
"...fewer than 3,700 performed in the U.S. on patients ages 12 to 18 from 2016 through 2019, according to a study published in August."
3700 surgeries over 3 years on minors.
I'm glad republicans are hyper-focused on like 1300 kids a year receiving medical care and not the... add like three or four zeroes... kids in their state/the country who lack access to any care. I'm glad being religious weirdo "penis inspection day" dipshits is their priority in the current state of decay every state is in. And I don't mean "moral decay" but rather actual literal decay.
If republicans (and democrats) want to be "concerned for the kids" then great! Hey, did they know 1000 or so (going up) kids have been exploded by Israeli bombs in the last week? Not just medically transitioned kids... these are just dead. Any fucks to give from these politicians on that whole affair? I wonder about all the kids who don't go to the doctor frequently enough because healthcare is still somehow "for profit" and social programs are continually being cut year after year. But hey, at least we gave Israel bombs to explode 1000 kids. Maybe some of those were trans kids, we'll never know now, but we can pretend maybe and keep focusing on the really really important issues here at home. Like refusing to fix roads, but making sure every trans kid's life is slightly worse than it was. What a fucking country.
Too bad I've decided to ban the bill the Wisconsin senate approved banning gender-affirming care to minors.
What now?
And also as in the planet, they named it after me because it's very pretty.
Unfortunately I don't have that much power, you guys are all into monotheism these days
I wish these articles wouldn't conflate surgery and "gender -affirming care". Are hormones banned or not?
I know this is a weird rant, but when I was a teenager I went through some extended depression and I decided antidepressants were what I needed to fix me. I made up my mind that I wasn't going to accept any other possible cure. Capitalism pressures us to be unhappy with how we are, we feel pressured to buy new things or even take pricey medical options to change ourselves. The idea that I needed a medical change was marketed to me by society, and I fell for it.
A couple decades later I still can't get off of them. I wish I had never had the option to start. I wish there had been something that could have prevented me from seeing them as an option, but that's not a reasonable request. It's not a reasonable request simply because it would cause undue harm any teens out there who actually do need that option.
Well, that and the fact that the harm wouldn't be explicitly directed at the transgender community.
Psych meds are in this sort of awful place where many they have nasty side effects, and are used way too much, but they actually help enough people that they stick around. I also got prescribed anti depressants as a teen, and took them for years, and hated it. A few years later, I dropped them and started hormone replacement therapy, which actually helped. Of course, the doctors were very happy to give my the psych meds, and relictatto give me the hormones.
