This bill is part of a flurry of new bills in Missouri that would penalize parents and care providers for providing gender affirming care to trans youth.
It’s horrific and terrifying. I have a beloved trans son. I am an active ally & advocate. I can’t help believe, however, that it’s willfully distracting us from being able to come together and take down the powerful underpinnings of all this legislation against marginalized groups. It’s not republicans nor Christian nationalists, nor the GOP. It’s the global super-rich who run the show for all of them. Money corrupts. Every group that has received financial backing to enact hate, whether it’s legislation, vigilante terrorism, or even social/mainstream media stochastic terrorism, is further separating the overwhelming majority of Americans who could/would/should stand against the exploitation by the oligarchy. They know they are outnumbered. The only way for them to maintain control is if WE are unable to stand together against them. The more we have to fight for our rights/lives, the less we can focus on the seemingly less urgent but profoundly important cause for all of this. Remember, trans people are beautiful & valuable. I cherish their unique contribution. I cherish all people. I cherish LIFE. But I’m getting to the point where it’s clear we will need to stand up together and fight. If you study history it is clear that we’ve been here before, but evil was allowed to endure. Find peace within. Love one another. Gather your strength. Be ready.
This is a horrific bill and should be fought at every step. Bills like this are the worst form of abuse of power, these anti-trans organisations are nothing short of out right fascist with their attempts to drag the world back to 1930s Germany.
I am so sorry for anyone living in these states where being LGBTQI+ is deemed as a sin and especially for all transgender persons. This sort of bill give rise to more hatred and violence by the neo-nazi organisations. My heart goes out to you.
Here are the key points in these bills I would like to highlight:
Trans people are not mentioned in these bills. They are anti-trans in the nature that they are cissexist. They do not recognize the existence of trans people or gender dysphoria. They write trans people out of existence. They don't actually target trans people. They assume all kids are cisgender and label gender transition as wrong for cisgender kids. Well, obviously. The people sponsoring the bills don't believe trans people exist.
Secondarily, they list symptoms of gender dysphoria as bad, but don't recognize them as that. They do make sure to state that spanking is not child abuse.
Guess what? It's exactly as I expected. They want to "beat the queer out of children". It's the bible belt after all.
I would let you know that spanking is child abuse.
It is decried by the UN.
It is the physical, sexual, emotional, and mental abuse of children. It has long term effects on people. I have the studies. It's registered as sexual abuse in the minds of children.
They would likely take the trans children awayand enroll them into Agape Boarding School which is under federal investigation for eggregious child slavery and sex crimes. Gone ignored by 20 years by the GOP.

It feels like they’re taking their cues from the Iranian morality police.

Too bad we can’t take legal action against the people who submit these bills.
I STRONGLY recommend everyone listen to Rachel Maddow’s 8pt podcast ULTRA. It’ll explain A LOT.
