I don't think that legislatures should have anything to do with medicine. But in this specific case, medicine has utterly gone off the rails. I'm Ok with the laws, and believe that no child or teen should be getting blockers or cross sex hormones ( lets not forget, the purpose of these hormones is for cosmetic effect. I think we should constantly go back to that fact. It's cosmetic, not medically therapeutic.) Dysphoric kids and teens will be treated with counseling, which is as it should be.
And let us not forget that for a long time we have known that up to 80-90 percent of kids w/ bodily 'gender' distress settle into their bodies by going through puberty and teenhood--they grow out of it--and many just turn out to be LGB. Let kids grow up w/o medical interventions and w/ psychological and emotional support, if need be, to become whole and healthy adults. And continue to expose 'trans' 'gender identity' as the invented and incoherent con that it is.
"lets not forget, the purpose of these hormones is for cosmetic effect. I think we should constantly go back to that fact. It's cosmetic, not medically therapeutic. ". This is an interesting point... it's curious to me that the bans and liability law changes have utterly ignored children and teens who undergo other cosmetic procedures and medications (from nose jobs to Botox to weight loss medications and surgeries even without any complications from obesity-or without being obese at all). Seems to me that those children might be better off being treated with counseling, and one can make all the same arguments about side effects (up to and including death) and long-term regret. However, in that aspect of things, it has been left utterly up to the child in question and their guardians and doctors to make those decisions. I'm curious as to why that is.
Because the whole of USA society believes in those modifications and worships a ghastly imitation post human version of our bodies? And has been exporting that distorted grotesque all over the world since the 1950s.

Probably something to do with Botox not leading patients down a medical pathway to sterility in the majority of cases. Just a wild guess.
