Transgender adults in Florida are blindsided that a new law also limits their access to health care
apnews.com

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.

Its for minors. Minors can not consent to tattoos, much less "gender affirming care"

Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article. Heck, even the tldr bot's content is enough.

Its for minors.

That's what liars claim, yes. The article details how that's a lie, at length. You don't give a shit. You're here to spread lies.

Is there any other obvious oppression of marginalized groups you wish to deny?

Can't wait till you figure out how to read replies.

What's funny, is I click the link, and I can't see your comment, but I can see your comment in my inbox just fine. Did you block me or something? Kinda wondering how that works.

And for the record, not everything is worth replying to, especially when it's from leftists who haven't even read the law. It's not even misinformed leftism at this point, y'all have been mal-informed.

I did not block you, probably federation pains. And goddamn is that the funniest shit I've ever heard from a Reich singer that didn't even read the article.

Reich singer? A new insult? Finally, someone with an ounce of creativity!

unfortunately, that's all the creativity they'll have for the month. sad

it's a fucky bug with the version of lemmy that lemmy.world is using - I have the same issue.

Do you feel this strongly about circumcision?

Yeah, it should be outlawed. Thankfully most here seem to agree with that

Don't you think it's a little odd that most of the people against gender affirming care for children don't have a problem with circumcision? Because, frankly, you're the first person I asked who was against both. No nose jobs or breast reduction for teenage girls either, right?

No, it's not odd. I'm well aware of what a circlejerk is.

And yes, no nose jobs for teenage girls. Breast reductions, sure, if there's back problems or whatever the case might be.

I see, so back problems should lead to plastic surgery but suicide that can be averted through medication shouldn't be tried. Interesting.
