They would require psychiatrists, endocrinologists and medical ethicists to have roles in creating facility-wide gender-affirming care plans for patients of all ages. Patients under 21 would have to receive at least six months of mental health counseling before starting gender-affirming medication or surgery. Providers would be barred from referring minors to treatment elsewhere, such as clinics in other states.
I am fairly pro-transgender rights with some exceptions.
If anyone has read my prior post, I have always said a psychiatrist or endocrinologist should be involved with transgender people.
The law to me is a good thing. I don’t agree with the below 21, it should be 18.
I also don’t agree with the referring clause. That is good medicine to refer people to other doctors and sometimes they are outside your state.
I kinda wonder if the criteria (or whatever term) is changing. Like what would’ve been considered acceptance ten years ago isn’t considered acceptance now.
I suspect it’s the backlash. People have tolerated/accepted trans people for years. Now it’s you are transphobic if you won’t date one or you’re phobic if you don’t think a biological male should be playing sports against women.
There is a certain point where people become intolerant. It makes the whole narrative fall apart.
