Re the Hate Bill

 Conservative bigots are so concerned* about damage being done to children, except of course when it is damage they approve of. See this thread here, and this one here, but I'm sure all y'all can fill in your own blanks**. 

1. No, not done: God forbid we actually talk honestly about what risks are culturally sanctioned and which ones are forbidden when it comes to young people - young trans people.

Let me tell you about breaking my wrist:

In my state you can legally be married at FOURTEEN, but they are trying to pass a law that says that if you want gender-affirming pharmaceuticals or surgery, you are legally a minor until you are 21 and can't receive those things until then. FASCINATING. I fucking hate it here.

*Spoilers: They are not actually concerned about the lives of trans kids. They're deeply pleased at the harm they are doing to trans people, and trans kids in particular. Their faux pretense of concern hides giggling glee at being able to hurt trans people and especially trans kids. That's how bigots work. That's what they are.

**For example, forcing 12 year old rape victims to continue their pregnancies, despite the damage that will do to their bodies; allowing young girls to take such things as ballet, despite the risk of harm that does to their bodies; letting children of 17 and 18 enlist in the armed forces in order to pay for college -- I can go on.
