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.

Because people like you repeatedly say trans people are grooming kids, just like people like you said gay men were grooming kids, just like people like you said black men were grooming your kids (to do drugs).

Personally, I don't see what is "curious" about responding to wild accusations against an entire minority group with a resounding "that's not happening and you're using a dog whistle to dehumanize trans people."

Things may be less "curious" for you if, instead of starting with a conclusion and working backwards to justify/explain it, you started with a question/hypothesis and worked towards a logical conclusion. Just a suggestion.

So instead of proving that they aren't targeting kids with all the school material and drag shows where they encourage kids to dance you decide yes make that statement transphobic

No don't defend yourself and prove they are wrong. Just call them names for saying it showing them that yes you are that but don't say it

Just call them names

You're calling people pedos (EDIT: and fascists) because they don't hate trans people.

Any proof of that or you projecting?

Here's you calling someone at a fascist:

Here's you calling me a pedo:

Don't whine about being called names you shriek at others.

The proof of "because they don't hate trans people"

Not because they are acting like fascists and you defending pedos over attacking issues in the trans community

Not because they are acting like fascists

Says the guy who wants to oppress vulnerable minorities.

you defending pedos

I am fiercely in opposition to pedos. I've supplied an example of such opposition.

Where did I say that? Once again you're projecting hard just so you can feel morally superior, disgusting.

If you think reading a book to children is predatory grooming then that might be a you problem.
