That doesn’t deserve to see the light of day.
Down in Georgia a Republican legislator has introduced a bill that make it a crime for a child to transition!
First… nothing that isn’t completely reversible I done to the child.
Second… hormone are usually started at around 16.
Third… no surgery are done until the person is able to give informed consent, usually at age 18.
She is only doing this to rally support for her voter base at our expense, this proposed law is nothing but grandstanding and will do more harm than good.
Research has shown that the suicide rates skyrocket if they don’t get proper medical care.
And of course she has a "medical expert" on her side.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Psychological Association (APA), the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) all believe denying proper healthcare increases the risks of suicides and long term negative affects on the child.

Georgia lawmaker: Make aiding gender transition of minors a felonyWhat a complete a**, she has no idea what she is talking about!
The Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionBy Maya T. PrabhuOctober 30, 2019
A Cobb County lawmaker wants to make it a felony for medical professionals to help a minor with gender transition.
State Rep. Ginny Ehrhart, R-Powder Springs, said the legislation aims to protect children from having irreversible procedures done when they are young. Current law requires a parent to consent to surgery or for a minor to be prescribed medication.
While the bill is still being drafted, Ehrhart said Georgia medical providers who perform surgeries or administer or prescribe medications that assist minors with gender transition could be charged with a felony. The legislation would not effect doctors working with adults who seek to undergo gender transition.“We’re talking about children that can’t get a tattoo or smoke a cigar or a cigarette in the state of Georgia, but can be castrated and get sterilized,” she said.

In her press release, Ehrhart included quotes from Atlanta-based pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Quentin Van Meter, who said the proposal is needed to protect children from “medical experimentation based on wishful social theory.“It just goes to show you that you can always find a quack to back you up.
These children are suffering from a psychological condition without biologic basis,” he said. “Using the bludgeon of threatened suicide as justification is first of all cruel, and secondly, not supported by valid published studies.”
