@MoonMark_ @Esqueer_ Surgery is not given to minors. The law prevents counselling, puberty blockers, hormones too. Everything. "Emergency" Regulations in other states are now being implemented to prevent the same on adults, without legislative oversight. That's the goal.

@KatyMontgomerie I wish he hadn't done it. There's nothing good in this. Justice without mercy is over rated. Lacking a "do over" time machine though, I don't see an alternative to punishment, however cruel. Just don't say this is good. It's necessary, but not good.

@NimeshM19231867 @IndiaWilloughby North Carolina passed a law saying everyone who was assigned female at birth had to use female restrooms. This led to situations like this, selfies were taken to illustrate the discomfort and absurdity, and the law was partly repealed and wholly ignored.

@edmurra56645660 @KatyMontgomerie Ed, I'm 65. I knew I was a girl by age 9, but i looked mostly like a boy and didn't mind that. Boys got to do interesting things that girls were prohibited from doing. Later on, pretending to be male got harder, then impossible. Trans and intersex existed in the 50s too.

@RukhsanaSukhan The treatment for Trans at the time was lobotomy too. Talking cures, beatings to feet, electrodes to genitals and eyeballs, psychotropic and nauseating drugs, they got pretty desperate. Eventually, they realised transition usually worked, nothing else did. This isn't new.

It was only since 1995 that Gender Affirmation became standard, because it worked, and other therapies didn't. 60 years of failure just because of ideology is enough, surely. This isn't new, people.
