Missouri lawmakers this week while debating a bill seeking to restrict access to gender-affirming care for minors suggested access to medical interventions like hormones be withheld from transgender and nonbinary individuals until at least their 25th birthday.

During a public hearing Thursday for Missouri’s House Bill 2649, Laurie Haynes, a psychologist, testified that she believes young adults under the age of 25 are unable to fully comprehend the “dramatic and drastic and irreparable” changes their bodies will undergo if they receive gender-affirming medical treatments like puberty blockers or hormone therapies.

Haynes on Thursday also said she supported conversion therapy.

Medical research has suggested that the prefrontal cortex – the part of the brain responsible for executive functions like decision making – is not fully developed until roughly the age of 25.

WTF are they talking about, it is total BS!

At eighteen you can sign contracts, join the military, drink alcohol, and vote and now they are trying to say we are too young to make an informed consent!

A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that receiving gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers and hormones, between the ages of 13 and 20 was associated with 60 percent lower odds of moderate or severe depression and 73 percent lower odds of suicidality.

Another study, published late last year by researchers at The Trevor Project, found that, among transgender or nonbinary minors, hormone therapy was associated with nearly 40 percent lower odds of recent depression or a suicide attempt over the last year.

There is only one reason they want to do this it to kill us off.

The legislators have heard testimony by medical associations and healthcare providers telling them that suicide rates go up but they don’t care if we die because they can go back to their evangelical born agains that they are ridding the planet of us, oh… by the way pass the plate and remember to vote for us.

They know that this will be overturned by the courts but even that works in their favor because they will call the courts “activist courts” and that will also rally their base.
