I’m fully just calling the “gender affirming care bans” what they are, bans on trans minors, because somebody on the main subReddit pointed out that the child brides in all of these red states do not have restrictions on ‘their’ boob jobs.

    the regret rate on transitioning is about 1% while the regret rate for any surgery is usually around 14%. most people who regret transitioning regret it because of the way they’ve been treated. I’m glad you didn’t have to transition because it’s not a fun time, but you didn’t have a “trans phase”, you just aren’t trans. and yeah psychological evaluation is a standard part of being trans. it’s so difficult to get hrt, let alone any surgeries, without years of appointments and referrals and lab work and psychiatrist appointments. I’d say your concern is a null concern.

      Of course, but it’s not what conservative politicians say or believe. If it helps for them to write useless laws instead of banning transition outright, then I say shoot.
