LGBT News Kentucky Proposes Very Harmful Anti-Trans bill

I dont see why everyone is freaking out over trans kids all sudden

 

they are just people. they have every right to be treated as equals

 

Trans people have always been around its nothing new

 

These people... they are fools. Even if they do "remove" us from their "pefect American society", lgbt+ people have been around before any sort of government. It is simply impossible to remove us.

 

For the Kentucky bill I do disagree with most of the bill especially banning talks about sexual orientation in schools. I also disagree with allowing teachers to not say preferred pronouns. But the only thing I Do agree with, is them banning medical surgeries for trans minors. I don't think anyone under the age of 18 should be able to choose to change their penis into a vagina or their vagina into a penis.

 

To be fair, surgery on a minor is extremely rare. I would think the dysphoria would have to be impeccably documented and quite extreme before they would even consider allowing it. (Also, please don't take this as rude, as that's not at all the intent, but that's not exactly how FTM surgery works. There's two processes to pick from, I wouldn't mind explaining to you privately if you'd like to know about them.)

Surgery doesn't necessarily mean srs though, a lot of us trans people just want top surgery (so either a boob job or removal thereof). A lot of people don't want surgery at all even, rather opting for just hormones or a purely social transition.

 

I do agree I dont think anyone under 18 should be making those choices there too young to make big decisions like that.

 

I am so sick and tired of republicans coming after LGBT rights. Especially trans rights. We are a community and we stand together. I also love it when republicans say they hate big government yet that’s what they’re using to take away trans rights and a women’s right to choose. They wanted to take away gay marriage too but thankfully we got that codified into law.

 

I don't think politicians are the right ones to make these laws for everyone about something so personal and medical. It's not like a kid says I want to be a girl and have my penis removed and it's done. It's a long process with health care professionals and the child's legal guardians. They are the only people who should be involved in this.

Why should the politicians who believe and propagate lies about all of us queer folks make these laws that hurt us? It makes no sense. The laws about needing to be 18 for treatment has obviously mislead a lot of people, just as they're intended. It's supposed to sound reasonable and about "protecting the kids" lol, it's not and never was with them. Go back to Anita Bryant's anti-gay campaigns. Also consider how some adults sexualize girl cheer leaders in skimpy uniforms, take your family to Hooters, beauty pageants for kids, age to marry is 16/17 in some of the states and they want laws so their kids keep their pregnancies and start a family and work in a factory young lol. Super sad the regression they want and how many people still vote for them.

 

Not off base at all and, yes, they are and it's not the same on "both sides", as some like to repeat, thinking they sound fair and smart hah. @Andrew99 pointed out the hypocrisy of claiming small govt. yet intruding in all of these private medical matters for women and LGBTQ+ people. I'll add their hypocrisy about personal freedom to grow and enjoy weed. Just like all the anti-LGBTQ+ laws, weed prohibition was always a lie which private conversations later revealed. For example this horrifying piece. https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kxv8a/lobbyist-anti-trans-leaked-emails?utm_source=reddit.com Look up heritage institute and a bunch of other secretive groups bankrolled by the ultra rich who want to keep their power and want the US to be a theocracy. Democracy in Chains is a good read and I think we're seeing more and more of their plan working, especially in the courts.

They know they are doing something wrong because they try to hide it and have all the secret plans. They use that real sounding "medical" group to make their claims, but it's a hate group to trick people to believe the lies. Like you said, they lie about kids having sex changes rushed through and call gender identity just an ideology. All of this against the legitimate medical advice. It starts with the laws for under 18 but will go on to restrict care and rights for adults too. Other articles say they know abortion isn't going to help them win elections so much and need the anti-trans and drag lies to scare people to vote for them. That's what they've always done, scare people, take advantage of base fears and say they are "protecting the children". All lies but they know it works with certain people. Nixon privately said he made weed schedule I so it could be used against the anti-war/hippie folks who he hated. The first prohibition laws were to target POC who, "went crazy on the stuff and tried to steal white women" or something like that. I'm serious it's one of many lies used against minorities in the US. Later drug laws have been used against POC a lot more too, even today.
