    The problem is they’re going to say a minor can’t really consent to such procedures (like how a minor can’t consent to sex with creepy old men) and therefore it’s always kidnapping to get gender affirming care

      The bill, S.B. 2782, was passed by the Tennesee House of Representatives on Thursday and is on its way to the governor’s desk. It amends a 2023 gender-affirming care ban, adding civil penalties for any adults who aid an unemancipated minor get out-of-state gender-affirming care without their parents’ consent

      Still allowed with parents consent in this law.

        They’re just banking on all the parents being transphobic enough that nobody can get help from family friends

        For now. That’s what I’m saying they’re gonna get rid of.

        Probably by saying something like “we don’t see this as a valid medical treatment, it’s outlawed here. Kids can’t consent.”

        It’d be like jumping on a plane to rape kids. Sure, the raping kids is out of their jurisdiction. But they can make it “abduction” to get a kid on a plane for it.

        You’ll notice, they care more about outlawing and stopping gender affirming care than they do child rape.

          Well yeah, they only participate in one of those.
