I already boosted this, but for the people who mute those: it’s no secret this was the goal all along. They don’t just want to ban all medical care—they want to ban being trans in public completely, and force trans people back in the closet.

@dgoldsmith “But Bauwens’ model bill targets licensed mental-health professionals. Under the bill, therapists or counselors could not “initiate, recommend, or facilitate social transition for a minor” – even if a parent requests it. Simply referring to a transgender child by their chosen name could cost a therapist their license or civil penalties.” Remember when republicans used to at least pretend to care about the “nanny state”?

@dgoldsmith it's worse than just forcing them back into the closet.
