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.

The same reasoning the Nazies called themselves socialist, despite being a fascist dictatorship. Why China says they are communist, while being a dictatorship with limited capitalism. And the US thinking it's a democracy when it's a Oligarchy with limited local democracy.

Dumb people think words mean more than actions/reality.

Socialism and communism always lead to facism. It's inevitable.

As in because the pendulum swings from the far left to the far right? Or were you just mistakenly conflating those two completely opposite political theories?

Calling the Nazis far right is ignoring that their politics were more complicated than a simple 2D spectrum. They adopted ideas from both left and right.

They certainly adopt rhetoric from the left which helps them get elected, then enact exclusively right-wing policies when they actually have power, sure. Fascists usually use populist rhetoric to get into power but then they never do anything to actually reduce inequality (because that would be the opposite of fascism).

those concepts are incredibly easy to take advantage of and you will get someone who will abuse it

Abusing capitalism = someone has more money, more greed but you can still be part of the system and get there if lucky

Abusing communism = fascist dictator and no one can improve their way of living

You need to take several world history courses, political science courses, and maybe see a psychiatrist before I even begin to argue with you. It's obvious you are a troll with no actual understanding. Just go away. I've already blocked you so don't worry about commenting back, but please, do better.

Oh nyo a block from a fascist pls no

For all the incessant whining conservatives do about being called fascists, most of the time I see someone call another person "fascist," it's a conservative shrieking it at someone who doesn't want to use the government to oppress vulnerable minorities.

The fact you want to suppress speech and ban as many people as you can who don't agree is what makes you fascist

The fact you want to suppress speech and ban as many people as you can

And what led you to that idea?

Experience with the rainbow and liberals

You're making baseless accusations like you're doing all over this thread.

Not all authoritarianism is fascism. All fascism is authoritarian, of course, but fascism isn't the only authoritarian system of government.
