Reply to comment by shortieXV in This is currently an anti-trans bill sitting in our house at the moment, and frankly, I don’t see enough people talking about it. by Jtagz
The issue is that it’s not between doctor and patient because a minor cannot consent to these types of treatments only the parents can.

That doesn't give the Government a sweeping right to make that decision for an individual.

They're not. They're delaying the decision until the only individual that would be affected by it is able to consent.

That's exactly the purpose of puberty blockers, which this bill is trying to criminalize

That would be abuse considering the child cannot consent.

Intersex infants cannot consent to genital mutilations, yet this bill explcititly allows it

That's my main issue with the bill. I do not like the explicit approval of procedures on intersex children.
Oh, you think it's abuse if a doctor, therapist, teenager, and parent all agree to use puberty blockers? But it's fine for parents to cut the dick off a hermaphroditic or ambiguous kid and raise them as a female before the kid is even able to talk? Make it make sense!!
