Ohio Rep. Click has sponsored several anti-trans care bans and claims that his bills are "about the science." Recent unearthed video shows him supporting to and admitting to conversion therapy.
It’s all chilling, but perhaps most concerning is the backdoor move to create a trans registry for youth. It seems clear at this point that nearly every anti trans-youth bill is a start toward all encompassing youth and adult anti-trans laws, as we’ve seen in Tennessee, Missouri and Florida, among others.
General rule #1: If a bill contains the phrase (or something similar) "for the children" it is definitely NOT for the children and most likely harmful for the children.
I am very concerned that those with autism which is protected disability under the American with Disability Act. How can a law be made that denies transgender care to those with autism. It doesn’t say outright that they will deny transitioning but that is where they are going. I am infuriated.
No law should stop anyone from having freedom of choice and access to care. I just haven’t seen any lawsuits fighting from the ADA discrimination against autistic trans.
I'm very confident that these conflicts will only be settled in court.
The two sides have framed the situation in a vastly different way, making dialogue virtually impossible, even if it's wanted, which it isn't, by either side. Maybe when the courts hand down their decisions, people on both sides will start talking to each other.
I'm pretty sure it won't be. Of course, it depends on how you define victory.
The rights to transition, both medically and socially, are no-brainers. We'll win those. The kids, also, though it's slightly less certain -- but only slightly. Bathroom usage, access to women's safe spaces and sports are probable losing issues, however. Sex designation on official documents, I fear, will be a losing issue, and will be the cause of immense grief among those of us who pass and live stealth. I think this last issue will be the most grievous for those affected, and our legal experts must be creative and come up with ways for exceptions to be made.
I fear that trans women who pass and live stealth will probably be best served by relocating to friendly states, though that won't help them if they were born in states where specific requirements for the sex designation on the birth certificate are mandated by law. As for those who have already changed their birth certificates in such jurisdictions, I don't know what their status will be. I think, if I were such a person, I might try to emigrate to Canada as a member of a politically persecuted minority, especially if Canadian law would allow me to have a new, Canadian birth certificate issued. There is at least one other option.
Why am I not surprised that inbred hayseed is pushing this sort of nonsense. I swear Ohio has more family wreathes than it does trees. And I say this as a former Ohioan.

That bigot brings up book banning, asking when the last time that happened. Uhh... probably today in every conservative locale in the country

If I had to guess he's probably fighting his own attractions. Otherwise he wouldn't be sticking his nose in what other people are doing.
Someone needs to remind these radical conservatives that it’s their God that keeps on making more Trans people every day.
I am going to vomit. I just can't understand these phobes.
