Yes, we need new laws on "trans" and I am ashamed to have to say that the red states are leding the way, albeit for all the wrong reasons.
Rule number is is a complete prohibition on any gender-affirmation treatment other than psychiatry for anyone under 25.
PArents' rights are absolute? Might want to take that up with your "trans" pals. They want kids taken away from parents who don't "affirm." You really should read the news from Earth once in a while.
They are kids! Intuitively obvious to the most casual reader. You’re just being belligerent.
My Trans pals? Who are those? Scott Wiener who I know is an idiot on this. He created the bill. The bills on the left and right on trans are both ridiculous.
The only sanity is parents taking over school boards asserting their absolute rights!
I have also contacted the HRC and been very clear I as a gay person don’t support their sensationalist agenda. They have yet to respond.
You don’t have kids. Stay out of it. Focus on something that affects you directly!
I couldn't number the times I've been told to "sit down and shut up" because a difference of opinion with a woman is mansplaining, a difference of opinion on race issues is because I'm a privileged white racist, a difference of opinion with "trans" is because of a phobia, a difference of opinion with young people is because I'm a boomer. How can there be discussion in the face of that kind of bigotry that is perfectly acceptable when aimed at one demographic?
So many people want to be involved in how other parents can raise their kids. This is especially problematic for people who have never been or ever will be parents.
I largely stay out of how my kids raise their kids and I'm their grandfather.
To believe you have a higher moral insight over how other parents raise their kids is part of the reason the uniited states is an oxymoron. The vocal left and the vocal right want to force their views down the throats of those they disagree with. Both are the problem.
I agree that it is the parents' responsibility, so school boards and politicians who want to keep parents in the dark about their children's mental crisis should stay out of it like you said. Report it to the parents, not hide it and facilitate it behind their backs.
I'm sorry if I come off direct, but I'm tired of the vocal left and vocal right just throwing bricks at each other especially on the trans issues. I'm tired of the HRC using what the supreme court decides and what laws states are creating to inflame the issue.
Laws don't drive culture. Culture drives laws. We have very different cultures in the divide states that at the grossest level roughly align with the red state/blue state definitions. Time to significantly reduce the federal governments involvement in these issues.
I live in CA. CA is off the wall on some issues. But I don't need the federal government to get involved in CA politics. CA can handle it.
The easiest way to reduce the power of the federal government is to repeal the 16th amendment. That is the real elephant in the room even on trans issues. Does the federal government pay for gender affirming surgery for the military and government employees is an example. Move the money to the states and things will get sorted out.
CA for example could provide state medical care for any military or federal worker that is a residence of that state. The residence of CA pay all their taxes to CA so it would be straightforward.
They laugh at people like you saying that something in society is the biggest threat to them or their kids. They are confident enough in their parenting to teach their kids to ignore people like you. Just like I taught them to ignore people like you.
For the life of me, I can't imagine why you would want to use a euphemism, change the subject, or throw out a stream of preposterous comparisons.
I wish I'd had my tonsils out. I wouldn' be half deaf now.
So castrating and hysterectomizing young teens is comparable to getting earlobes pierced. Yeah, you have a 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑑 on reality, champ.
Babies who are intersex are already being castrated!
Do you have kids? I have three kids and two grandkids!
One thing that I’m absolute about. I don’t want people like you telling me as a parent how to raise my kids. Parents rights are absolute.
No need for any new laws on trans. The DCFS exists to investigate abuse. If a child or teacher believes they are being abused, report it to DCFS.
Have a great life!

BTW, in the penultimate sentence, who are "they?"

I'm a boomer. I'm a white man. Stay out of my parenting of my kids.
If you thinking I'm abusing my kids, report it to DCFS.
End of story.
Have a nice life.
If that was a response to what I wrote it's a bit strange.
That response is my position.

You've already pounded your chest a half dozen times about your kids.
Sorry nutter but nobody here fears your testicles.
You align with "trans" aand aside from beards with guns, the "trans" are the biggest threat to your kids there is.
My kids are like me.

I'm being mocked by a guy who thinks an ear piercing is comparable to a double mastectomy or an orchiectomy.
the pain, make it stoooooop.
Shove your nice life.
"You don’t have kids. Stay out of it. Focus on something that affects you directly!"
I don't have elephants either but I protest those who trophy hunt them.
You sink lower in every post. You're well below "jerk" already, you should quit now,.
Yes please, go save the elephants.
Have a great life.
