Interesting back and forth. I think what is missing here is that transitioning is not something that happens over night. It takes years of counseling and then drug treatment before someone is eligible for a reassignment surgery. Do those years of counseling and treatment not provide an ample body of support to the need for the surgery? Considering we allow all sorts of modification or augmentation surgery without appropriate counseling, even for people below the age of majority, this seems like an over-reach. There are more boob jobs performed on teens in most clinics than there are gender reassignment surgery in the entirety of the country. This is a silly law supported by silly people. People should be outraged that the Texas legislature has time to take this garbage on and allow an existential problem like poor power infrastructure to be an ongoing and never ending problem. When people fall for this nonsense they get the government they deserve.
