    It will be kind of hard for adults to get gender-affirming care, though, when the government enforces that your gender is fixed at birth.

      Sure, nobody is arguing against the fact it will be harder to get this type surgery - mostly due to financial reasons. But claim that it’s getting banned is a filthy fucking lie

        That’s like splitting hairs over whether a abortion is banned in Texas, cuz technically it is allowed under very narrow circumstances that no hospital is willing to try.

          The fact you have to pay now for the surgery is completely different from ban with few exceptions. You’re completely wrong

        Not all gender affirming care is surgery. In fact, almost all gender affirming care isn’t surgery. He wants to restrict all of it so that as few people as possible can get on it, then eventually it’ll be an entire ban because he doesn’t want trans people to exist at all. While it might not initially be an entire ban, its pretty fucking close and will be expanded upon eventually.
