You have to hand it to the constantly lying, stuffed-with-hypocrisy Republicans. There’s absolutely nothing “conservative” about these dictator-loving Repub scum—it’s pure fascism—Big Gov deciding what everyone gets to do. You know: the exact opposite to conservatism.

I’m so tired of these politicians and how they consistently lie about any related treatment, whether it’s the process or time in someone’s lives.

And to no one’s surprise, the gray below is nothing but hostile.  Thanks for confirming you’d remove a consenting adult’s care, after appropriate therapist counseling and diagnosis.

Trump made fear, hate, and bigotry normal for so many people.  One freaking man.

And the right will tell you all day it’s the democrats who are taking away freedom.

Transgender people commit suicide due to the discrimination, violence and rejection they face. These kids are more likely to harm themselves if they transition due to kids at school bullying them and committing violence against them. I don’t think the government should decide that they have to wait - but their parents…

This is how the Republicans work: find somebody to hate. Stir up hate against them. Flex their muscles by passing laws to express that hate. Hang on to power by showing off how they hate better than anybody else. Due to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, it’s harder to hate on abortion providers, so now the trans…

Just awful.

They never, ever care about actual facts here. Almost NO teenagers are pursuing gender affirming surgery, and they most certainly aren’t in South Dakota where that would have been incredibly difficult anyway. Puberty blockers are prescribed quite readily to cisgender teenagers and have been historically. This is all…

God you are stupid. Any permanent transitions - such as surgery - aren’t offered to children, nor can they be “reversed” by simply weaning someone off of drugs or something.  All that language about “winding down treatment” makes it fairly obvious that its a lie to claim this is about stopping children from making…

Then why are they allowed to own and carry guns and be tried as an adult if they face criminal charges?

More cis kids go on hormonal medications and get cosmetic surgery than trans kids. And studies show that kids/teens who transition before they’re eighteen are happier than their trans peers who are forced to wait. Gender affirming care for trans kids & teens does the opposite of destroy lives, it saves them.

How appropriate, you have the education level of a kindergartener

Allowing people to transition has only positive benefits to their mental health, it’s not that fucking difficult.

The only thing that destroys the lives of children is forcing them to go through a puberty they don’t want

Things that South Dakota should be focused on instead of bullying young people through legislation:

You mean like Gorilla Glue her forehead to the tip of Washington’s nose and then charge for access to a live webcam to watch her progress?

Meanwhile:

Oh wait, you don’t think they increased their mental health budget along with this?? (Of course not.)

Time to put Kristi on Mount Rushmore. Not her face; I’m saying, let’s literally stick her up there and let her find her own way down. In January.
