The law approved late Wednesday applies to those younger than 21 and calls for 15 years in prison for any violators, as well as a $50,000 penalty and the revocation of all licenses and permits of medical staff.

“Minors, having not yet reached the necessary emotional, cognitive, and physical maturity, are particularly vulnerable to making decisions that can have irreversible consequences,” the law reads. “Therefore, it is the State’s duty to ensure their comprehensive well-being.”

    I’m a firm believer that “most people” don’t care about it either way, treatlerite normies don’t like trans people but most also don’t have this obsessive level of hatred displayed by the political class, it’s 100% a manufactured hate campaign by professional scapegoat artists looking for soft and vulnerable targets, a top-down path of least resistance, not a groundswell of grassroots anti-trans bigotry

    Which makes liberal capitulation to these hatemongers even more infuriating, I mean for fuck’s sake Trump in 2016 ran as the supposed “pro trans” candidate, even tho that’s been utterly memory holed

    This shit is only possible because liberals are holding what should be an easily locked door wide open for anti-trans murderers

      Why would it be an easily locked door if most people don’t care about us? If most people don’t give a shit about our rights I don’t see how it would be easy to keep them. Especially when you do have a vocal minority that actively hates us and wishes us harm.

      Also what, they gave the game away to people who don’t care? That doesn’t do anything if normies don’t care about us.

        If normies don’t care, then they also don’t care when the anti-trans door is closed, as Trump proved in 2016, all it takes is the will to counter message on a national level, which dems and libs refuse to do
