The new law that bans gender-affirming care for minors also mandates that adult patients seeking trans health care sign an informed consent form. It also requires a physician to oversee any health care related to transitioning, and for people to see that doctor in person. Those rules have proven particularly onerous because many people received care from nurse practitioners and used telehealth. The law also made it a crime to violate the new requirements.
Another new law that allows doctors and pharmacists to refuse to treat transgender people further limits their options.
Modern psychiatric science has determined that, for many people who do not feel comfortable in their assigned birth gender, transitioning is the most mentally healthy thing to do.
It is literally stopping suicides. When you let an adolescent transition, their risk of suicide drops 73%.
Here’s the problem- you want them to feel comfortable in their own bodies. They don’t and never will. Same with people who get nose jobs or breast augmentation or any other form of plastic surgery. And plenty of trans people never even have surgery. They can “detransition” any time they like.
As for why it’s “normalized?” Maybe because people are more compassionate than you are these days?
